I disagree HDD is causing the sluggish UI. However, I have suggested they should put a 64GB - 128GB SSD on the motherboard to handle all the OS functions and perhaps cache. In theory that should speed things up but I don't think it would much, I still blame CPU and optimization primarily.

I disagree that it's just the CPU.
In the PS4 Pro's case I noticed an increase in system general responsiveness with an SSD.

Granted Microsoft has done an amazing job in hiding the latency deficit with the 5400rpm drives, but at the end of the day... An SSD is still an SSD with 1-2ms response times verses a 5400rpm mechanical disks 15-20ms.

Well that's a straw man, I never said it was just the CPU responsible for the slow UI. But I certainly feel that's the primary culprit of UI freezing for short periods, slowly moving to different screens, loading stuff in, etc. Essentially, I would like to see the Xbox UI as fast and responsive as Windows and it doesn't require a SSD for that.
