Are you running Firefox (35.0 and 35.0.1) and experiencing accumulating lag at the first phase of coliseum battles?
It presents itself like so: The battles themselves run just fine, and you have no problem with the site in general. But the first animation of the battle where the sprites "jump" into the venue from offscreen will start to lag more and more with each consecutive battle until it's slowed to a crawl.
As it turns out, there's a lag issue with Firefox and Flash that affects some systems. You might have noticed Youtube also acting wonky, etc. A way to get around it is to turn off hardware acceleration for Firefox and/or Flash.
Firefox: Go to Settings -> Advanced and uncheck "use hardware acceleration."
Flash: Go to the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_Flash_Player_information Right-click the box that displays your Flash Player version, OS and browser, go into "settings" and uncheck "use hardware acceleration." There are detailed instructions further down the page, should you need them.
When you have turned off the acceleration(s) of choice, restart Firefox.
Doing both cleared up the problem for me (and speeded up the coli some to boot!)
The standard techy caveats apply: Computers are the most special of all snowflakes, and what works for one system may not work for another.
ETA: Adding restart-after-tinkering note. Also, do note that as solutions go, this one is kinda killing mosquitos with an RPG, but there ya go.
Son of Eta: Just did some testing, and the issue persists into 35.0.1 - at least for me. Also, disabling the Flash plugin altogether did nothing.
