I'm a little unclear as to what the problem is: what do you mean by
"lagging"? Is it slow to download? Maybe the servers are a little
busy. You can choose another server.

Package management is handled by "apt" which is extremely resource
efficient, designed and efficiently runs on everything from ARM,
AVR32, MIPS up to mainframes.

Development occurs on the APT Development Team
<deity at lists.debian.org> mailing list, but it seems that it may just
be that you need to choose a different server.
