Any way to make Front Row scroll faster?

I just got a MBPro, and I was trying to use Front Row but scrolling through the menu was teeth-clenchingly slow.

As an example, I clicked "Movies", and then tried to scroll through them. It would take a full 10 seconds to go to the next one down after I hit the "down" button on the remote. If I hit it multiple times, it would simply scroll down multiple times, taking 10 seconds in between each movement.

So is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make it go faster? I've got 2gb of ram coming from Newegg, right now it's only got 1gb. Will that make a big difference?

This is a brand new laptop, I just took it out of the box today, and I don't see how the program could be messed up so soon.

 

thats normal, front row performance is sluggish on my macbook too. i've got 2.0 GHz and 1GB of RAM.
i don't think getting more RAM will make a difference. apple front row is just slow ATM, maybe the next OS version will fix this "leopard". that movie trailer preview in frontrow is tied to ur internet connection; but i know that there are sluggish performance throughout the entire system so i think that the program performance is just not good.

hey btw, there is a hot key you might be interested in.

press "apple"+"esc" to lauch front row without the remote.

and if front row is so slow and you wanna quit

press "alt"+"apple"+"esc" to lauch force quit that enable you to close front row.

 

try holding down the up and down buttons. it will goto fast scroll for long lists.

 

Good, didn't know about that... sometimes I would have liked to start frontrow but I didn'have my remote with me. That will be handy.

 

Hmm, it was really slow for me too, but I figured that was my lack of RAM (I have 512MB). Guess not, but I still need more RAM lol.

 

If you're browsing trailers, it's because it's loading some stuff off their servers.
I don't know really what it loads, but it's normal there.

You definently need more ram.
