Not related. Happens even without the preview window, like I said, when 
called from Schedule Recordings. It's definitely the amount of EPG data.

This installation didn't have this issue when I was using EIT (much less 
info). It wasn't so bad even after I switched to XMLTV, it was a bit 
slower, but there wasn't much more data then the EIT.

Now that I use my extremely detailed XMLTV grabber and the amount of XML 
data per day more than tripled, just moving the cursor (without any 
scrolling) takes 4sec.

In fact, it's not odd at all if you notice that the progressive 
deterioration of performance is based purely on increasing amount of 
available EPG data. Perhaps most people don't use such abundant sources 
or don't see so many days ahead (I have 13 days), I don't know, but 
that's not the point. Moving the guide selection from one program to the 
next shouldn't take 4sec even if I had 3yrs worth of data... :)
