Scrolling through the playlists was a *lot* quicker in the very early betas before the "slide the text sideways" scrolling was implemented, i.e. when the menu just jumped from item to item rather than sliding. The sliding does look fancy, but at least in my opinion it makes the menus too slow.

I think Hugo and Mike said they'd make the sliding behaviour configurable, but I'd guess it's not very high priority.

Cheers,
