Nelson talks new "faster" 360 dashboard

Speaking in his latest podcast, Major Nelson confirmed the following:

The team has done some really good stuff around making performance enhancements. "'Performance enhancements' doesn't sound right because it sounds like we're going to give the guide a little blue pill, and we're not doing that. Whatever we call it (and it's not going to be called the NNXE), but whatever the next version of the dashboard is called, it's better with a lot of very cool new features. That update will be out later this year.

This sounds Very Cool; and Thank You for bringing our Attention to this ;
I would like to see the Dashboard extended further; and if the New Update were to be 'Faster'; as the NXE Dashboard is struggling to a halt these days; but also to give us what we experienced with NXE; going from a 'Dead' to a 'Live' Dashboard; it would be a Major Coup

I liked the old dashboard. The new one better be awesome or I'll be ****ed.

I don't see how they can make the dashboard "faster"?

Better design and/or easier to navigate?

That's good to hear! There's a bug in the current version of NXE whereby if your 360 is cluttered with games saved to the hard drive then the dashboard takes a massive hit in performance and can lag up to 15 seconds behind. Everyone I know that saves their games to the hard drive has this and researching into it only confirmed the problem. My hard drive has, like, 6GB left out of 120GB... so that should give you an idea of just how bad it can lag for me.

Hopefully the NXE optimization update will get rid of this bug!

Ive never saved any games to my Hard Drive so havent seen this issue. If i had the 120Gb i might have been tempted for some but with 20Gb i havent got enough space to use like that.
