If response times are bad then AS must calculate how many seconds it should add so that the bid gets there in the user-prescribed time. Eg. User sets 8 seconds, system is slow by 10 seconds, AS sends snipe at 18 seconds, snipe arrives at 8 seconds, users sees nothing different.

That's how I've been taught that it works. Apparently there are these bursts of usage that AS can't always detect.

It use to be a bigger problem. Most Sunday nights there would be several complaints about snipes not placed. It appears that about 5 months ago ebay made some changes and they noticeably improved response times (I think those posts are still "out there"). This forum still gets some complaints, but they are a lot less.
