Yeah just got on and noticed this. Good that they're trying to manage the lag but of course we can hope they'll fix the engine sooner rather than later.
Edit - Lag's already up to 10 minutes again.

2 trades in and already over 1 min lag 
I'm stupid...where are you monitoring lag at?
You can see it on most live charts like ClarkMoody's or Bitcoinity.
In addition, this is the call to check it yourself: https://data.mtgox.com/api/1/generic/order/lag
Thank you! Bookmarking that!

Let the price go down
This isn't to stop the price moving... or at least it shouldn't be... it should be to stop an entire market from trading BLINDLY and a momentum of panic building that will push things far more then it would have happened naturally.
Trading resumes, and so does the lag
HAHAH what a mess!!!!

trading resumes in 3 minutes....
Worked well last time, gonna crash again at least temporarily.
12 hours is different from 20 minutes. Could still go down though. They should have done this when it was at 10-15 minutes. Not 50 minutes of lag after 2.5-3 hours of horror blind trading.

lag was 50+ minutes before

Didn't know that. Hadn't been paying attention. I always have http://bitcoinity.org/markets/mtgox/USD sitting up in a window. But I noticed that recently it no longer has the lag information posted on it like it did a day or two ago.
WTF. Just tried to place a bid in and:
Trade engine cooldown (lag too high), order placing suspended until 2013-04-13 21:00:00 UTC

The fact that they just did this was a very good thing. It is a temporary solution to a very real problem until they vastly improve their entire trading engine. We could have seen 1.5 hours of lag or more if they didn't do this. It would be stupid not to.
But after 10 minutes all the lag was gone and trading resumes in 1 minute anyway. I can totally live with brief cooldowns.
