Will the time allowed for a bonus reward change too? At the moment it seems a little on the mean side.
Yes, it will.
Last time I heard a Dev talk on the subject (which was a while ago now), he said that the bonus time was based on the average time taken to complete the mission.
I wonder if they factored in the lost Hi-slot/DPS from fitting a salvager and the time it takes to perform the task of salvaging when they worked out the 'average' time.
Don't do that to your ships, you're gimping your combat setup ... but that's only my opinion, I find that a dedicated mission ship and a dedicated salvaging/looting ship works better for me ...
And AFAIK, the update is based on the time between "mission accepted" and "mission completed" in the agent's dialog ... so yes, it would be taken into account if you take more time before telling your agent you've done the job.

Could the calculations that are taking place for that be resulting in increased lag on the mission running nodes?
I think that those calculations are done during the daily downtime, since we usually see an increase in LPs/rewards for the same mission after the downtime and not every couple of hours or so ... so, nope.

The biggest problem with starting new missions with really low rewards is that I (and probably a lot of other people) use the reward as an indicator of how hard a mission is.
When I got Gone Berserk (lvl 3) yesterday and saw that it paid 200K and 256 LP, I decided to do it in my Harpy as I usually do with easy level 3 missions. I made it through it, but if I'd known that the reward didn't reflect the difficulty, I'd have taken a ship with a bigger tank.
Well ... when in doubt, play it safe and use your best tank ... that was an advice given to me in november 2004 when I started playing this game , and it still holds true ...
