Even in single player you are susceptible to lag and desync. And on a slow machine can be even more susceptible than on B-net. In single player, you're running both the server and client on your machine. There is no inherent communication latency, but there is CPU and I/O latency which is often worse due to running both parts on the same machine. Furthermore, you are still using the same communication protocol and update frequency designed for the Bnet environment so you are also suffering the lag and desync in the system to compensate for bandwidth limitations (for example, I believe the position monsters is not updated at every timestep). Then there are also sublte things like an action being taken even one timestep earlier/later on the server/client will lead to differnt monster reactions/pathes...
