No, this has not been my experience either. First, I only find this
happening with certain text files, and not all of them. And, in fact, the
majority of the files I read do not exhibit this behavior. Second, I don't
seem to experience a greater lag depending upon how far into a file I have
read.

No, this hasn't been my experience. It's much more dependent on the file's index markers and/or format than the position within the file whenever I experience it.

I think this is just a continuation of the same bug which appeared in Release firmware 2.1. As you read further along in the file, I'll bet you find the spot you jump back to is further and further behind. -Brian
