I'm wondering... I know when the last batch of firmware was released a couple versions and one pretty much turned the Empeg into something like the Rio Receiver. I was wondering, though, does it use the same server software as the receiver?

Yes.

Is response time to large collections any faster?

In my experience (and, quite frankly, it was wholly for the benefit of my experience that I did the Receiver Edition in the first place), it's faster than a real Receiver, but not as fast as a normal Empeg.
