I had been thinking it was a "nature of the beast" due to a slow/overloaded processor chip. But I seem to recall reading somewhere that it had an octa-core (don't know if correct) which should be plenty fast.
While googling for problems with this player I ran into a few/lot of folks complaining about the SMART HUB agreement on setup which supposedly gives okay to sammy about data (I didn't read it)
I have no need for the Smart Hub as I only use my 4kRoku for streaming stuff, so I , again, reset the player - hold stop button on player (not remote) for 8 secs: whole reset process takes about a minute. This time I chose to skip the agree box and let it do it's setup - only difference on home page is no apps. No problem.
So I stuck in my new Martian 4K extended and let it start up. And then tried clicking a few fast forward's - NEAR INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE!!!!!!!!!!!
So if you need the smart hub, put up with the slow response, or to get rid of it just do a forced reset as above.

Running with SmartHub present and allowed, viewing a dvd, whenever I would press pause to temp stop play, press pause again would correctly start play, but WITH A 2 SEC LIP SYNC DELAY.
After the reset and setup W/O SmartHub, there is no such delay.
