If by slow you mean that mythmusic is very unresponsive, and seems to 
lock up etc, and you are using redhat or fedora try this:

in the terminal before you run mythfrontend run this:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

then run mythfrontend, that should fix the problem, has to do with 
redhat's threading or somesuch, do a search for the lines above in the 
list archives for more details.
