Well my wife bought some new batteries and I was
ready to test the redesign so I loaded it up with
the new batteries and poof it is as fast as my
1000.
I've found that hitting the reset button often speeds up the 3000
4-fold or more! The speed issue isn't
necessarily a low battery problem, it's more likely a
software problem caused by a gradual
memory leak of some kind. Putting in fresh batteries causes a
reboot which is
probably giving you the observed speed boost.
When the batteries are really low, the 3000 spontaneously reboots whenever you try to send a remote code.
:( That's how I know when it's time to replace the batteries! (Fortunately I have a DS3000 on the way. I hope the
lithium NiMH pack provides decent battery life.)
The next time it gets slow, try giving it the one-fingered salute with a paper clip and then check the speed again!
:) Until Philips corrects this bug, that's the only option available to us early adopters.
