Since I got my ATV I've had almost nothing but lag problems with it.

I'm streaming (not syncing) my library from Itunes (on my Imac 2.8) over Gigabit ethernet.

I've got good cabling and an decent enough switch for GbE.

The ATV takes about 10 - 20 mins once it's started up to be come usable, even then some times the album art doesn't load up for some time.

When pressing any buttons on the remote it becomes very aparent that the ATV's CPU is maxing out almost constantly.


For example often I press down on the remote and it will lag up and take 15sec - 2mins to actually move down.


Youtube browsing often lags up in this matter also.

I've posted on a couple of forums but had no closure.

Anyone got any input for me?
