Something is ODD here. I've never noticed issues like this on a RPi2. How did you install the image?

Even so.

It sounds like a swap issue.

The best idea is to download gparted system recovery boot iso. Burn it to a CD or follow the instructions to copy to a USB. Run that and then resize the image.

On an RPi2 you should not see any delay in loading menus, so it seems something else is the problem.

I would solve the freespace problem first before buying a new SD card. Personally I haven't noticed any degradation between a class 4 or class 10 on the RPi2.

Thanks for the answer. Today I bought a new SD Card 16 GB and class 10. I installed the new version (XBian_2015.03.07_rpi2) and it works flawlessly! So it was a problem with the old sd cards.

Thanks a lot for the answers!

PS. With the old SD cards I use hard disk low level format tool and after that win32diskimager to copy the image.
