I was making do with a very slow O2 Orbit for a while and then I worked out what it was.

After soft reset iit was reasonably fast, sd card speed testers telling me that my sandisk 2G ultimate was excellent. Then a little later it was useless. Loading from SD was very slow.

I noticed that it started getting slower after it had gone into hibernation after no use for a short period. I went into "power", "advanced" and took the tick out of "turn device off if not used for" ...

Now it stay at full speed all the time !!

Has anybody else noticed this?, and does anybody know why?
Could it be a bug?, could it be an answer to corrupt cards.

I recon that the power being supplied to the card is less in these circumstances.

From the lack of responses I would guess that I am the only one getting this.
I wonder if this means there is a fault with the card?

No i don't think it's a fault with your card - i'm getting the same thing, but hadn't linked it to hibernation. Every now and then i check the card just to see if it's corrupt and i need to soft reset (fingers crossed i haven't had to for a few weeks now), and what i'll find is that it'll run like a dog just pulling up the list of things on it the very first time, and then after it's up to speed, i wont have issues again, until much later (as it happens after it's turned itself off and i've turned it back on).

No idea what it is though.
