I see it too. I think it's related to the fact that it takes 5+ seconds per page turn now, so it means much more power is used during this time, reducing the total number of page turns significantly.
I'm well and truly fed up over the freezes and slowness on my 400MHz Gen3 with the v2 firmware, so unless the new firmware improves the situation significantly, I will be shopping for a different ebook and it will not be a Cybook. Just to mention an example: I have around 30 pages left on a book I was reading and now it just freezes when I try to open it again! This kind of stuff just make me want to throw it out the window and let traffic deal with it.
