Just curious, but has anyone else noticed the difference in the overall speed of Dharma? It is much slower than 9.11. I'm talking about general usage and navigation. i.e.(opening your library, browsing for SMB shares, loading a vid)
I have tested with clean installs of XP, Vista & 7(32&64) on 4 different machines. Also, I Tried different skins with different settings...
All machines tested are perfectly capable and healthy.
The main purpose of these machines is to run XBMC with the exception of the i7(media server). Dharma seems to drag in comparison to Camelot on all machines. Sometimes, 2-4 seconds lag after a key is pressed before any action takes place.
If I had to choose between the new functionality of Dharma vs the speed of Camelot, I would have to go with Camelot. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not complaining... I'm just curious if any one else has noticed this too.
