I believe its the PACE boxes showing their age the software used on them is somewhat over complicated for the hardware its running on.

they used to be fairly fast when they where running the older software.

Each update has added new features (which is great, especially vod) but the downside is the STB is finding it has more and more to deal with.

The samsungs are newer boxes so probably have a more powerfull processor as well as more memory.
