Everthing was fine until I intalled the latest firmware. I reset back to factory default settings and reinstalled latest firmware and still slow. I have changed cables throughout and no change.

This system is less than a year old and lives in a good enviroment. More than happy with it up until this point. But with that being said--I can't live this as it is and will be looking at other options.

If this still fails, I would made contact with DarrenM and see what he recommends.
