Whenever they release a new game client, the servers have to rebuild their indexes (that's not the right word, but I forgot the correct term), so it takes a day or two before the lag goes away. This happened the last time as well.
Basically, the most common things that we do in the game are stored in memory on the server. So when you do something, instead of your game client figuring it out from scratch and loading it at that point, the server already has this routine stored and just plays it back quickly. But when the game resets to a new client, it takes the server a while to rebuild all this information. So in the meantime, your game client struggles with getting all the correct information each time you do something new. Gradually as the server rebuilds itself, the game speeds up, and in a few days it will be back to normal.
