Not really. There is FBReader running, but it is not doing anything at the moment.

How long is your startup time for MediaBox?
About 15-30 seconds.

Delays of several seconds in the interface sounds like something is going really wrong.
There are two kinds of delays:

1. When MediaBox transitions between screens (like when showing a video or showing a list of items) there is a 2-5 second delay with 100% CPU load, most likely due to actual processing in Python (have you considered changing to C/C++? )

2. When I scroll through a list, MediaBox sometimes hangs up for 0.5-2 seconds, maybe due to Python garbage collection.
