There is nothing wrong with his configuration. I have the same configuration too, on purpose. I have a 24 HDD media server. I don't want every single drive spinning up when I use XBMC (I've got 3 XBMC machines in the house hitting it at almost all times!), I'd much rather wait 10 seconds for the drive to spin up so they last a little longer and my server doesn't just constantly eat extra power. His suggestion of a pseudo-network bumper is a great idea, and one I'd love to see. Just load up a short generated slide show with some media information and a "Now playing" banner or something for a few seconds if you need it, and if all your drives are always spun up like yours are, it will have zero effect on your experience
Anyway, I'd like to +1 this request. I was looking into PseudoTV for my dad's XBMC machine 'cause all he does in channel surf, and it would come in handy to help keep the experience going when loading media
