I've had a play around with a Sky+HD box at my sisters and I wouldn't say it was instant either. It's generally fast and nice looking, but fairly basic compared with TiVo in features.
Exactly Sky HD and Tivo are very different boxes and for the want of a better term the Sky HD box is pretty dumb and is simply a PVR.

The Tivo is doing so much more and constantly pulling metadata when you explore a show. All these whiz bang features will come with a bit of overhead. So it takes 3 seconds to display my shows big deal.

The EPG is lightning fast way faster then the V+ ever was. I agree that there are a few places where they can improve so hopefully in future we will get more performance enhancements.
