If I remember correctly easycolor adds the color in at the point where
the text is actually sent to the player (or right before). A player
with a slow connection who spams the command will fill up the output
buffer faster than it can be emptied, and you are basically hitting this
problem which is already documented in the easycolor readme file...

That should give you a starting point to at least understand where the
problem comes from.
Hint: The solution, in this case, is to "bother".
