There are several factors that influence GPS lag...
The GPS system is basically 30'ish clocks all synchronized together and transmitting down to earth from a geo-stationary orbit.
The GPS receiver needs to receive at least three of these signals before it can determine it's location, It uses the difference in the time received from each satellite to work out it's location.
So GPS lag can be caused by errors in transmission such as reflections from buildings and trees, the type of receiver installed, how the GPS software processes the GPS data, Atmospherics and so on...
