What is your frontend configuration?  PXE boot, USB key, HDD, other?

I ask because I'm running a single core Zotac Atom from a (cheap and  
sloooow) USB key (with a full Mythbuntu 9.04 install on it) and I've  
definitely got some issues with Graphite when entering and sometimes  
even moving around in Watch Recordings.  Pretty much whenever a new  
preview image or fanart image needs to be brought in from the  
backend.  So far I've been chalking that up to the actual write to the  
key, but I haven't had time to switch to PXE boot and see if it solved  
the problem.

I suppose I also could try moving the mythfrontend user's home  
directory to an NFS mount and see if that fixes things.  Hmmm...

David.
