Time dilation in bullet chess

Hi all
I sometimes get the feeling my time is running faster than my opponent. I had a game where a significantly higher rated player berzerked me. Afther six moves, he was still on 0:30. And I reacted by playing deliberately silly moves. Two moves later, he is on 29.8

I like or even love the chance to play high rated players, but is there a "ping reward" or something some players get against low rated players? If it is, I am OK with it during berzerk (In a way) But it bothers me Lichess might have a criteria where some get extra time according to "arbitrary" and secret rules .

By the way, I have 50/60 ping according to Lichess, and I am getting fiber any day now. So I am expecting a bump in bullet rating
@ThomasHH Lichess has good amount of lag compensation unless you have obscenely large amounts of lag (like over a few seconds of lag)...
I had 50 premoves and won the game while I had 0.01 seconds remaining. (50 premoves with 0 seconds increasement from move 44 to 93).
Theoretically, if you have 1 second remaining, you can possibly play 5000 moves in here. :D



Trust me, lichess fixes the lag very well(unless it is an absurd amount i feel u tho). I just got back in chess.com i was premoving the hell out of it but still get milliseconds cut off my time like ??????
