I could certainly understand these kinds of things happening (or at least more so) in a new version release. But in a "patch" ... ? And since we've already been admonished for using the terms patch and update incorrectly, I believe this is just a patch.
And I'm sorry, but while Steve may give the "corporate answer", it appears he just does not know So I would much rather see him post something along the lines of ... "Markus is aware of your concerns and is looking into it." However, the "just live with it" response is always good for customer appeasement.
I was truly hoping that after the debaucle that was V.5.04a,b,c, etc. that lessons would have been learned and corrections would have been made to the system. Ah well ... lessoned learned by the customer.

-Toggle some of the "roster move" options
-Cut back on the number of programs or processes running in the background.
-Upgrade your OS, RAM or other PC components if possible.
I'm sure that the speed issue will be looked at, but there's no promises that there will be increases in speed since alot of work has gone into trying to get the roster and player AI to where it needs to be(not saying that it is there but progress is being made).

Just my opinion but I don't see anything wrong in Steve's answer.
I think too many times people read things into what is written here when there is no tone to what is said that would be available in a face to face conversation.
I don't read this as a "just live with it" at all statement. Steve starts with "presently I'd suggest" and then gives the player some options to try until the speed issue is looked at. Since he is not Markus he cannot give any promises that anything will change and simply says so. With some people (not saying you, adventureran) this cover his ass statement must be made or the board will errupt with "but Steve said" this would be fixed posts.
I guess we'd be better off if Steve did simply say
"Markus is aware of your concerns and is looking into it."( which as Henry said- should be a given) instead of giving some suggestion on how to try to work around it until it is looked at.
Let's face it the guy can't win no matter what he says
