7 seconds here.

It wouldn't have to (so often) if data like images were cached.

Its not just on the VM forum, there's threads on DS and comments on Twitter about the performance (or lack of). Lack of speed has also been mentioned in several reviews (including Trusted Reviews and CNET).

In my experience, my TiVo was dog slow at around 70% capacity. Its speeded up a tad since then, probably because I've deleted loads of stuff and I'm at around 53%. Most people seem to report that the more you've recorded, the slower TiVo is. I'd hate to see the performance at 99% recording capacity.
