I’m unclear if this lag is also aff…

If your display is running at, say, 60 Hz, then PsychoPy will be feeding frames into the “pipeline” at that rate. The initial frame will be displayed late in absolute terms, but the relative timing between subsequent frames should be preserved, because a new frame will still be displayed every 16.66…
