If you're wondering why The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion runs so silky smooth compared to many other 360 titles, it's because the developers cache game data on the optional hard drive when it's available. If your game is playing choppy or slow even with a hard drive-enabled system, it's probably due to disk fragmentation. The good news is that, unlike the dirty disk errors of yore, there's an easy fix: Reboot the game while holding down the A button to force it to clear the cache and build a new one. Don't worry, your save game isn't affected...
