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.
Unlike navigating a data and graphic rich website which is instant?

I don't buy that at all, as mentioned above, it is all down to costs.
