Sluggish Responsiveness, Resume Playback Inconsistent
keuleJ:
I think part of the problem is that rockbox keeps playing the old track until "everything is ready". In other firmwares playback is stopped immediately when you hit the "next" button. IMHO this would be better as it gives you direct feedback on the button press.

Did I just get a bad daily build, or is this common?

I get this too on my c250 and found the commit that made this behaviour a very obvious problem (at least on dual core targets - Ipods, Sansas and the H10s). Taking the chance to talk to the developer in IRC earlier today I've been told that it is actually a playback or buffering bug, and his commit is not the real cause but revealing the bug which could have hit before too, not that often though. There are a few bug reports about resume problems in the tracker and I will append the important part of the discussion to one of them and hope it'll get fixed soon.
interframe:
Seeing a similar issue with my e200 I see a lag with the resume play or for that matter moving backwards in the menus. Some times it is so bad that I just reboot the player. Actually its getting quite frustrating at this point. It was a whole lot more stable a while back. My personal opinion is that if it ain't broken don't fix it. Currently using version 16169-080126. Any body know how far back I have to go to get to a version without this issue and perhaps without the remap of the buttons?
Strife89:
I think builds from the first half of the month doesn't have this issue..
EDIT: Just tried revision 16043 (from January 10th), and I find it is much more responsive. :) (I even left the (now commited) Cabbie theme (version 2); no problems there.)
(I deleted my settings and database beforehand as a precaution, though. ;) )
Wrathernaut:
I went all the way back to EvilG's last custom firmware and the difference is night and day, perfect resume on startup and most everything else is more responsive.
