It is faster in some ways but slower in others. To me it looks like they have done (at least) two things;

- Altered the memory management. You can see this because when you navigate through MP3 lists, it loads from disk a bit at a time rather than loading the whole thing into memory (which causes a longer initial delay)

- Altered the task/process priority of navigation. The Nav is definitely slower, but everything else is quicker. I reckon they have lowered the priority, because Nav is very CPU intensive and was probably slowing down everything else previously.

There also a lot of new functionality which is always welcome. In the future we will probably be buying software support contracts with our cars, since the changes will become frequent, and people always want the latest. At the moment you can only get upgrades for a warranty reason or if you pay for it - that will surely change.
