Madnox is a big skin and you need a powerful device to drive this skin. I have this delay on my Android Shield too but on my main HTPC with a powerful CPU and SSD the delay is noticeable but ok.

Another reason for the delay are the animated gifs. On my Shield i could reduce the delay to a minimum if i switch off the animated gifs. The skin helper service in Madnox have the ability to use animated gifs.
So try to switch off.

edit: forgot to mention. Android devices like the shield and so on are powerful devices for video playback because of the special capability to accelerate video but for normal operations like disk access and skin use the android
devices are crappy and compared with a PC slow as hell.
