-changing a skill or fitting your ship takes 20 minutes in jita with only 459 players in system.
Interestingly enough, this has never happened to me, even when there were >600 players in Jita.

-american players dealing with 700 pings in 0.0 systems with 20 players is quite rediculous.
Also never happened to me. I live in Michigan, USA.

-instead of spending your income on needed sever hardware to run your game properly you inject the player base with more "content".
Contrary to popular belief, CCP does not pay their developers by the hour. Their developers are salaried workers, and as such, get paid whether they are developing "content" or not. And unless CCP fires all of their devs, they have to pay them regardless of what they do. It would be in CCP's best interests to have them do something. Preferably the thing they are best at. IE, artists should draw stuff. Marketers should come up with advertisements. Accounting should balance the books. Programmers should program. Game designers should come up with new content. Etc etc...
What I'm trying to say here: NOT DEVELOPING MORE CONTENT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN CCP HAS MORE MONEY TO BUY NEW HARDWARE, AND EVEN IF CCP *DID* BUY NEW HARDWARE DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE WORLD CURRENTLY HAS ENOUGH TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT THE LOADS THAT TRANQUILITY HAS TO DEAL WITH DAILY!!!!!

-it's been over 2 years since the last server upgrade. the client base has grown to a size that requires better hardware. deal with it.
As someone already mentioned, CCP has added several pieces of hardware since June, 2006, along with several software upgrades which have, believe it or not, greatly improved the performance of TQ.
In conclusion, stop posting and making us Americans look like ignorant stupid people. CCP is working on an implementation of RDMA. This sort of thing takes a long time. Years even. Not a couple months. Unless of course CCP shut down TQ permanently until the upgrades were complete. Then it could probably be finished much quicker. But somehow I don't think CCP would survive very long as a company if they decided to shut down their sole source of income while they upgraded it to reduce lag.
If you want a lag free game, go to the nearest sharded MMO. I suggest WoW. That one seems to be pretty popular these days.
