General slowness is usually caused by the box picking up IR interference. To test for this, put your left thumb over the IR receiver (just to the left of the standy LED), and operate the box using the buttons. Does it now respond faster?

Don't think it's IR related - I don't think this explains the behaviour I had a few weeks ago:
I was in my planned recordings and I hit page down twice followed by down 4 times and nothing happened. Just when I thought it had not registered the remote commands the screen updated and it went to the expected place (i.e. two pages down and four programmes down).
It must have took a good 7 or so seconds before the screen update happened but when it did it was one quick succession (i.e. just one single update as apposed to it replaying the commands one-by-one and updating the screen after each one).
7 seconds a little out of the ordinary but its not uncommon for it to take 3 or 4 seconds before the remote command is operated on whilst navigating menus. During playback, commands (pausing, forwarding, rewinding, skipping, programme info etc.) are fine with no noticeable lag.
Also, some behaviour I noted when I returned from my Xmas holidays where the box was unbelievably responsive (never seen it this fast not even after a reboot):
