The Slowening of Faster Devices

My Sharp HDTV suffers from this greatly.

It’s miserable waiting several seconds per channel while I try to hit “channel up” from a low number to a high number to catch a show that’s about to start.

It’s also completely horrible to turn on the TV to a very loud station and have to wait several seconds before I can turn the volume down.

The firmware is upgradable, so I hope that Sharp somehow magically hears my plea for an upgraded experience.
