Just as an FYI, BYOND isn't really to blame for the lag, its the low quality connections/machines that many people host their own servers on, combined with the detailed nature of the data that is being shared.  While it would be possible to re-code the game without an authoritative server/client relationship, it would lose the innate security against hacking and de-syncing that this provides.
