You can try a search for clearmybox that will dump the guide data and other things on the Genie, it will take a day or 2 to rebuild and any programs set to record will.

So are you implying that the guide data becomes corrupted, or more than is needed?
Are there any other side effects?

There are other things that are dumped when you run clearmybox it is the other things that may cause slow response times. There is always the possibility the hard drive will fail.

If this is a regular Genie, then I would suggest if you can to replace a Mini Genie with an HDDVR. The Genie controls the Minis, so by having a dedicated receiver you get 2 tuners and its own processing power. That can help with part of the problem.
However if you have the Genie-2 (HS17) than you are out of luck. That forbids recievers/HDDVRs.
The "clearmybox" helps dump bad data that may have built up over time. Not something to do often, but it is one of the final steps in troubleshooting. Hopefully the hard drive on your Genie isn't going out.
