Taking 10 seconds to loot a corpse

I’ve only been playing 2 weeks or so but almost every time I login it is super laggy. Today it was taking around 10 seconds to loot some corpses. Is this normal? I mean, it can’t be right? It’s almost unplayable though. Is it because of a new patch?

Is this every server or just Area 52? I selected it because it was the highest population. I didn’t think about the lag factor at all. Figured a 20+ year old game had it figured out heh.
