Combustion lag refers to the time between spark(ignition) and the highest combustion pressure in an engine.

Ignition timing refers to how many degrees before top dead center(top dead center compression in 4 strokes) the crankshaft rotation is during ignition.

These two are connected by timing your ignition on point with combustion lag characteristics to tune ignition timing and gain max volumetric efficiency out of an engine.

Timing advances (ignites farther from tdc) as rpm's increase.

Why does Xbox 360 lag when the computer is connected to the internet?

Because you have limited bandwidth. You can only transfer data at a certain speed. You computer is transferring data when it is connected to the internet and this takes away from the data that can be transferred by the xbox. If the computer is only connected to the internet then it should not slow down you game system but if someone is using to play an online game or download music/movies this will cause your system to lag.
