What exactly do you mean by "slow"? Slower than the "normal" iPeng
browse screens? Or just slower than the IR remote?
The web I/F in general is slower on the iPod/iPhone than on a PC since
rendering on Mobile Safari is slower, especially JavaScript. Also
loading Artwork takes it's time. If you want to get rid of that you
will have to wait for a native app (in the making).
Make sure you have a fast server and a fast WLAN connection, both helps
a lot.

I actually don't see a reason, why CustomBrowse should be much slower
than the "native" iPeng screens, since AFAICS the code uses the same
optimizations and is generally not more "heavy weight" (in fact it much
more lightweight right now) than the "native" iPeng code so the same
caching should apply. Erland uses a bit bigger Cover Art than I do
(50x50 vs. 46x46) which on a slow server should improve performance and
on a fast server hurts performance a little bit (the 50x50's are cached
by SC but the 46x46's are smaller, I believe mainly due to the
rendering algorithm rather than the size difference and I use a
"fit-to-size" background image as an artwork placeholder that loads
with the style sheet but all of these differences should not be in
excess of 10, maybe 20%.

If you are not sure, try iPeng from a PC or MAC browser (Safari
preferred, or Firefox, IE doesn't work). It should be pretty fast
there.

If iPeng is actually slower than the Default skin, please report back,
that should not be the case since it has reduced content (and much less
JavaScript).
