Hi Vaughn, I had the same positive experience you mentioned when I first set up my mid-2010 Mac Mini, but at some point I started to have the VO issues that other folks have mentioned regarding the previous generation of Mini. I then connected a monitor using the included HDMI to DVI converter and the problem went away. I'm not sure exactly when the VO slowness started. It might have been after the 10.6.5 update, but not positive. I'm wondering what might be different between your mini and mine. Can you tell me what Mini model you have, what keyboard/mouse you're using, what other peripherals you have connected, and what OS version you have?
I've got the Mini 2.66 "server" version running 10.6.5 client, not server. I use the Apple USB extended keyboard, bluetooth magic trackpad, a wi-fi connection and a Samsung USB DVD multi drive.
