Also when the other player has a guest then they are split screening.
Such as GamerHero has a player in his lobby GamerHer(1), then they are split screening.
And yes spilt screeners = major lag as well as one person (or two) that dont care about anything in the game except for messing around.
Evidence that split screen adds to lag any more than two people not in split screen mode? Given that matchmaking doesn't force local players to stay together, to reduce ping times, I don't see how split screeners make anything significantly worse. You could have split screeners in a full US lobby all from California and it would run smoother than a lobby where you have one person each from: France, Sweden, South Africa, Japan, Australia, Italy, USA and Mexico.
You want evidence ? Its pretty obvious just based on hardware alone. Two players on the same xbox eating up one wired (or wireless) connection to the router .
Or My wife and I playing on ONE Xbox together as opposed to us playing the same game on TWO different Xboxes for example.
Or How about the fact that when you play Black Ops for example and in theater see a game with 1 person and a guest getting yellow bars consistently through the game.
As well as the fact that the one Xbox has to do double the work for two player input as well as both players screens display, etc.
Seriously have you even gotten the chance to compare 6 different countries in the same lobby ?
