Am I the only one who rarely experiences lag?

(And Steve The Fat is pretty adorable)

it is located somewhere in Los Angeles.

Probably not. I'm connecting from southern-central Tennessee and I rarely get lag - maybe once or twice every two months, on average. But when the lag hits, it hits hard.

Speaking of lag, the supposed improvements Jeb implemented on the natural delay of redstone has not changed the fact that the Zipper Elevator in NJ still does not work. It might have been a doomed project to begin with, because the elevator I made in single-player doesn't work either.

Both, in my case. It's mostly the former, but I've come to believe that redstone-related triggers (pressure plates and buttons send a signal even if there isn't any redstone placed) and reactions are just naturally laggy on all SMP servers everywhere.
The latter happens less frequently, that was the kind of lag that I said I experienced about once or twice every two months.

The server is hosted by Multiplay, which is a U.K. company, but the server is located in a data-center in Los Angeles. (hence the lax13. prefix)

I rebooted the server just now. I noticed according to the logs that it seemed to be using a lot of memory, even after everybody had logged out last night.
