Beta 1.0 did have problems, but alas so did Beta 1.1 (we're nor perfect) however Beta 2 is almost fully tested and to date is almost perfect.

Thanks for the advice. Let's see, are 'additions' and 'add-ons' the same thing, ie. are we talking things I would have to install myself after initial setup? Cause I haven't gotten around to any of that. All I've done is write the beta1.1 image to the sdcard with your installer, power up, add a network location ('regular' shared resource on a Win8 machine, connected over wired gig-eth to my router which is connected by cable to my Xbian RPi) and let it scrape all the info (left it overnight)... then boom... slow.

I was thinking maybe there's some service or something that's activated by default that I should be turning off to get the smoothest GUI performance?

I've also ordered some heatsinks after which I was thinking I'd try to OC is more, but at the same time I'm thinking that should be the problem, as others seemingly get snappy GUIs at OC 'High'?

Sweet! Can't wait! I had a quick google but couldn't find an ETA on that, are we talking weeks, months, end of year?
