Ide-exi very slow can't load mplayer

I'm testing my ide-exi for the first time today with an ide>sata adapter and I'm having a problem with it being really really slow so slow that I can't load mplayer it loads but its going so slow that it crashes before any text comes up on mplayer. Snes9x works fine a little slow but works GameCube iso's work but are a little glichy but I think that's normal. Does it matter if its a 40 wire or 80 wire? I'm using an 40 pin-80 wire ide cable right now
Edit: I had a idea to put the ide version of mplayer on a SD gekco in slot a and put the ide-exi in slot b and load it from SD in swiss and guess what it worked! So its a go for the build I decided to put it in a gameboy player

IDE-EXI hasn't been optimised much. Throw in SATA and you're lowering the speed even further. I will make some optimisations in the near future to get it faster.

When you do get around to improve it how will it be used? just a swiss update or will i have to update the ide-exi with a programmer?

Also i been reading a lot on the ide-exi here at gc-forever and is all the ide-exi's out there V1 firmware or has V2 been released? I been reading and some say yes others say no and I'm close to deciding on making a batch and hopefully sell some here. So if V2 firmware is not out yet I will hold off till it is

I recently mistakenly spread the rumor v2 had been released, sad truth is it's not. I have no idea why, it's been a while since it exists apparently.

Ok thank you for the info so is v2 real or is it never going to happen its been like 3-4 years since ide-exi and if im going to make a batch I would like to know if its worth the wait or just go ahead and make the PCB's. I'm aiming for a batch of 25. I just got an IDE-EXI and I love it having all my movies and tv shows on a 1tb HDD its great

The tease in this sentence triggering my imagination of certain possibilities gets me all giddy!

So you think its better just to hold off for now till more development comes up?
