Hi Lemmyslender,
interesting I find the menu very fast to load screens now, first time and everytime.

what is the effect of higher numbers in follow? I assumed it was 1=on anything else off.

As far as exiting cleanly I may not of picked up gerritv's fix for that, don't know if it made it into svn.

Another thing I did, which may or may not be relevant was remove all the debug entries in the config. but I wouldn't of thought that would make much difference.
