"The lags are recorded on the MIDI track."??? Does that mean the gaps 
are in your recorded event list?  If so, that's not a playback problem. 
That's a recording problem. Your filter is set to record note on/off and 
sysex. Does your event list only contain note on/off and sysex? If you 
change your filter to not record sysex, do you still have valid test 
conditions for you to see the problem?  IOW, if you don't record sysex, 
will playback be silent because sysex was needed? Disable sysex 
recording as a test. There's no lasting harm in doing so I assume.

I think the next step is to monitor MIDI data with a MIDI monitor during 
recording. There might be some sort of MIDI data clogging up the MIDI 
stream. MIDI is capacity limited. So, for example, if sysex is 
constantly being pumped along with note on/off, you could plausibly see 
hesitations. Monitor in both directions (if you're using both directions).

I recently had a Cakewalk experience that showed a bug regarding .MID 
files. I took an interest in the "Situation" by Yazoo MIDI file. When I 
loaded it into free Sonar, I had many problems running it (problems I 
don't remember). I tried two other .MID files and never had the same 
problems. I concluded that the Yazoo .MID file contained something that 
corrupted Cakewalk. I tried the same exercise with Bandlab and noted the 
same problem. I concluded that there is some sort of bug associated with 
some .MID files in Cakewalk and that the this mysterious bug has been 
around for a while. I would try a different sequencer. You should be 
able to find at least a few free ones, including online sequencers. The 
bottom line is: CW has bugs and it probably always will.

If you haven't done so yet, install and use MIDI-OX. It's a swiss army 
knife tool for MIDI. It has a MIDI monitor and will let you confirm your 
MIDI data that you record has no hesitations by taking Sonar out of the 
picture.
