I also stop for 5 seconds at the top of my backswing to let everything settle down. Sounds a drag but it soon becomes a habit.
I'm with Piz on this one just count to 4 or 5 at the top of your swing.
A lot of the meter lag is from the cpu/mouse interaction. I have been able to VERIFY this by keeping a cpu meter open during play, when you click and move your mouse to adjust the swing the cpu meter spikes. Holding the backswing for a couple seconds lets the cpu settle down.
