I have tomtom 5 installed and sometimes it runs slow, like i'll press a button and it takes a few seconds to do anything, is there anyway i can speed this up

reason it runs so slow is the interface speed between the memory card and the IIs is rather shite, so its slow slow slow!
no real ways to speed it up as far as im aware, but there might be some tips on www.xda-developers.com ???
im just waiting for my BT-77 shnitzer then I will also have the fun of delayed writes and shit

er uninstall the 02 crap from the phone, this makes the overall speed of the phone increase, also there is a program called "pocket hackmaster" which will increase the cpu of the phone, improves speed again.
i used to have tomtom on my XDA2s and it worked pretty quick.

im using a custom home-brewe'd rom with no O2 branding and 1/2size EXTROM, but still runs poorly when I paired it with my mates GPS device

are mabye your problem, my gps reciever was the wired version, not the bluetooth, heard the cabled version was a lot faster than the bluetooth.
when i was running it, it ran very fast no delays at all really.
im using a homebrew rom 2  , doubt he was though lol.
just get a cable rather than bluetooth my recomendation.

I'm not sure if there are any specific bugs that would cause the slowdown using bluetooth but otherwise it shoul dmake no difference.
The signal only updates once a second anyway so its not exactly taxing.
