I have installed Gotham 13.2 on my ATV2 (4.3.3) The crashing is off the chain. Every single day it crashes when I open it. It crashes changing videos. It crashes browsing a list. It crashes retrieving subtitles. There isn't anything that doesn't make it crash! It is obviously instability which I'm willing to attribute to the low resources of a nearly-obsolete unit. That said, I'd replace it if I could but I'm broke! What if we had a version that didn't include the code for features that I'm not using anyway such as live TV and PVR support?

It's more likely there is a memory leak or something rather than it being a bloat issue. Check out the iOS sub-forum for a lot of discussion on the issue.

Also you should check to not have installed any more 3rd party apps. Each app takes RAM on the atv2 and will influence XBMC (even if the other app is not running - all apps are plugins - all of them are loaded to RAM permanently) (i had XBMC in parallel installed to Kodi during development and It was nearly unusable because of another 50MB RAM lost just because i had it installed).

not sure about that tbh - normally only the frappliance binary (like the "exe" file on windows) should be loaded all the time...

I ran it 18 months ago on an ATV2, sell the thing to some other unsuspecting gumby, the thing has no oomph, it's useless.
I bet one of those dodgy quad core ebay "android media players" for $99 would thrash the ATV2.
Ditch it, it's just not fast enough for a good ui experience if you've got a large library.
