There really is no way to completely eliminate the lag, even if you disable callerid.
Another workaround would be to connect a loud phone directly to your pstn line. When you hear it ring, jump up and grab your regular phone. It'll start ringing by the third ring. You'll have callerid pop up between the third and fourth ring (the 3-4 ring that the caller hears, it'll be between the 1-2 ring on your regular line). I discovered this workaround when I left a fax machine (which had a very loud ring) directly connected to my pstn line. I was surprised at how many calls came in and never got past the voice greeting (all were unfamiliar numbers, probably wrong numbers or what-not). I'm afraid for your situation, there's no way to do what you want without some kind of workaround, especially since you need callerid information. I suppose you could disable callerid detection in asterisk, and get callerid delivered to you another way (on your TV if you have a satellite receiver that supports callerid, a device that reads off the callerid to you, one of those nifty globes I've seen at radio shack, etc.). You'll still have a little bit of delay until asterisk rings your extensions, but it'll be more like 1-2 rings instead of 3. I honestly think a voice recording being played just before it rings your extensions isn't as bad an idea as you think. I use one for my residential line in addition to my business line. Haven't heard a single complaint yet. In fact I've gotten a few nice comments from it (I can customize the recording used based on callerid, leaving nice cute messages for family/friends, and the default recording for everyone else). Hope you find a solution that suits your needs.
