I did some testing there, and although I don't currently have my remote
connection plugged in, band change from the panel appears to be well
under one second, including the time required to actually depress the
band button. I can't make it take two seconds no matter what I do.
There may well be differences with different firmware revisions, I don't
know. I am using 1.366. On my Orion, band change itself is quite
quick, it's the time to update the frequency display having instigated a
band change that takes rather longer. In any event, I didn't draw
attention to this as a problem of great significance in its own right
but as a symptom of a more fundamental issue. Niggles but not stoppers,
I believe I suggested.

This effect is certainly there. One thing that exacerbates it is sweep,
which seems to consume a good bit of processor resources. Running
with sweep off significantly reduces the magnitude of the effect as you
have described it, although it doesn't eliminate it.
I don't use the band scope. It's just an unecessary additional overhead
on a system that's already straining.
