ET quicker, but some slight UI judder

[tman 47]

I don't know whether it's a front end (ET) or back end change, but ET is now starting up *much* faster from my testing so far. I used to get some really annoying long pauses when starting ET on my HTPC, with lots of network I/O to the server until you could actually navigate the UI. Then sometimes, you actually had to exit and go back in before it was usable (startup would be quicker second time round). Now the whole front end seems to load pretty much straight away, the last tile populated still being the large 'random movie' tile.

 

One thing I still occasionally notice, is when you start ET, and begin navigation on the 'Movies' page, the UI will judder slightly as you move. If you go up to the menu, select TV, then go back to Movies, everything smooths out.

 

I'm on the release channel, so ET is v2.5.38 and MB is now v3.1.5.0 as of yesterday.
