GRUB2 theme slow F17 RC2

[hadrons123]

I activated default theme in Grub2. I got a colorful grub screen with a theme, but trying to scroll down for OS choices the scrolling action is very slow.

Any one else having the same problem?
my /etc/default/grub

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0   KEYTABLE=us rd.luks.uuid=luks-1fbf87fd-ddfb-466a-8e6a-5ee613e65b61 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 quiet pci=nomsi noapic irqpoll"
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true

I've seen the same behavior with grub themes on my computer. I believe its a know issue. If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure I saw something about it while browsing redhat bugzilla for another grub related issue.

But I wonder how arch can do this thing right while fedora has bugs in it.

lately all the issues I face with gnome and grub2 in fedora are just non-existent in Arch.

The bug listed has been fixed, just comment the line out and run grub2-mkconfig.
F17 will have no themed grub

#GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt"

@yellowman.I already tried that and I have a wallpaper for grub rather than a theme. I was hoping to have the theme working normally!

Anaconda upstream have disabled the theme for now.

Maybe a different version of grub2 or a theme setting that causes a lot of processing?
In my Virtualbox the theme works fluently.

On my netbook Acer AOD 260 theme working correctly. I think, It's some related with video modules from grub2

[hadrons123]

@hostace maybe its the video module.

But what glennzo has answered seems pretty apt.

does arch actually use a theme, or just a background?

[hadrons123]

Arch has the default grub 2 theme but you got to enable it.
