The slowdown at midnight GMT is when the V+ is updating its EPG for the new day that's just started. DVB defines the days starting at midnight, so if it did it later, you'd either have an out of date EPG or not EPG at all for a few hours.

I've never understood why the v+ slows down so much doing this. I thought I read somewhere than it has a 300MHz cpu. The Tivo Series 1 takes as long, with twice the amount of data (it carries around two weeks of guide data), but with a 50 MHz CPU. I am not counting the download time, as the stock Series 1 uses dial up, so it's not a fair comparison.
