Not 100% sure when it happened, but browsing my iPod has gotten a lot faster. I wasn't sure if it was an iPod issue or a MC issue, but after putting a LOT of files on the 60gb iPod Photo browsing got slow. If I clicked Music > Genres for example, there would be a noticeable delay before the genre list finally popped up.
I just re-synced to fix the track order issue, and my iPod is responding quickly again (as in no delay) like it did with only a few files on it.

I noticed the same thing. I have the 60gb 5th generation iPod with ~13,000 tracks on it.
With prior versions, after I synced my iPod there would be a delay the first time I started to browse. I assumed that there was an index of some sort being built on the iPod. After the first time doing the browse the speed picked up.
With MC 11.1.194 I do not see this initial delay. I'm not sure if this is a change in MC or with the latest iPod software (I'm using the 6/28 Updater).

For me it wasn't the new iPod software - the newest updater does not have new software for my 4G iPod Photo. I did just do a full wipe(using the latest updater)/restore about a week ago and noticed the slowdown as files were added. With just a couple thousand files it was fine. Once I got it up to the current 8000+ files it got slooooow again. After the re-sync with .194 it is as fast as it was with just a couple of thousand files.
They did change the iPod code a couple of times recently, and it appears that one of these changes resulted in more efficient DB processing by the iPod itself.
