Sounds like time to get myself an aTV...
What you describe suggests that the request querying the movie list times out.
This shouldn't be. My own library with >300 movies takes less then a heartbeat to load.
So my guess would be that this is an XBMC issue. Could well be some inconsistency in your database. Rescanning _might_ help, if it's not too inconvenient.
btw nightly from 25th should be sufficient...

Re-spacing the buttons shouldn't be a problem.
Playlist reordering is something i'll experiment with soon, but this will only be available for XBMC v11.0, since the ability to do this has only been added recently to the JSON API.
@Drol
Good point concerning the skip buttons, and easily adapted.
As for fast scrolling (aka jumplist): I've made a few tries at this already, but none satisfied me.
My main problem was getting the indices right / looking good (you know, the lettering a-z, like in the adress book app). This is fine when ordering alphabetical, but with years or ratings it simply looks ugly.
But thinking about it again, maybe i'll start anew with a neutral scrollbar...
