There's a few things this could be... If you are talking about "Frodo Beta 1" it's probably not an API change causing it since most of that has been taken care by the latest version, but if you are talking about the latest "Frodo Nightly" there could be API changes in XBMC causing the issue.
Just for this question, ignore the speed/delay issue... after the device is in 'sleep' (tapping the power button once), when you try to 'wake' it, you're saying that when it does come back on it's back to the Home Screen instead of going directly into Constellation? This part of the issue may technically have nothing to do with Constellation, since I find a lot of the time if I had an app open when I put it to sleep, I'd guess around 30% of the time when I wake the device it goes to the Home Screen instead of the previous app (doesn't matter if it was Constellation or anything else, the IMDB app for example).
A few tests you can try (in order):
1.) Scroll up a few posts to where I did some screenshots, look for the one about "Overide LockScreen" (in the "Apple Settings App") and make sure that's turned off. - then test.
2.) Leave the lockscreen override off and turn on "Experimental Sync" - then test.
3.) In Constellation, go to the Settings menu (the Cog icon) and remove the 'local database', force close the app and reopen to sync again.
4.) [Not recommended unless you have to] If you're using a Frodo Nightly, back up XBMC's userdata folder, then download the official "Frodo Beta" (which will probably be older than the Nightly) and install that. WARNING: Pending on how you upgrading to Frodo, this may damage/corrupt your libraries causing you to have to re-scrape all your data.
Since I'm not sure what device you're running XBMC on or if you installed whichever version of Frodo over a previous install, there's a chance the database/libraries got corrupt anyway. When they first released the official Frodo Beta there was a corruption issue for some Windows users that did an 'in place upgrade' and to fix it, you either had to dump XBMC and install a fresh copy (not overwrite an older one) or thankfully, the XBMC Team released a patched Beta installer to correct the issue shortly after... the point is, there's a slim chance you may have fallen into the 'oops, sh!! happens" category on this particular install.
If tests 1 to 3 above don't work and you don't want to try test 4 (I wouldn't blame you, the size of my library would take FOREVER) then please respond with some more details, include (at minimum) the following information (even stuff that's already been mentioned).
What exact version of XBMC are you running? (This can be found by going into "System Settings" on XBMC)
What device/Operating System is XBMC running on?
What iOS device is being used? (if you state it again, it saves me and others having to go back to check)
What exact iOS version is the device running? (Go to "Apple Settings" -> "General" -> "About" and it's listed under "Version")
Any other details you think are relevant...
