”why would it be preferable to keep the navigation bars separate by default”
To maintain computability with child themes. There are many ways to generate navigation menus in WP. If I attach the BP navigation to a specific method then child themes that use a different method won’t have the BP navigation.

@zoltok – I think what I’ll do for using a single navbar is create a second child theme that’s set up that way.
@sandeepdude – thanks for reporting the CSS issues

@sandeepdude – I noticed that today. I’ll see if I can fix that tonight.
@zoltok – do you have the adminbar disabled in your install?

Which version of BP are you running? Same for WP/WPMU?

Added notes:
This version of Buddymatic has two template files: Blog Page & Activity Page. You can create pages using either template.
If you want to have Activity on the homepage, go to Settings -> Reading and choose the activity page you created for your front page.

I finally had some time to update Buddymatic to 1.2. The beta can be downloaded here: http://freebpthemes.com/themes/buddymatic/.
I’m expecting people will find a few things, so, I won’t upload it to the official theme repo until I’ve fixed the first round of issues.
@apeatling – I used portions of the template pack plugin in this version. It [...]

The WordPress theme system loads all template files from either STYLESHEETPATH or TEMPLATEPATH locations.

Actually, the BP registration process does use registration/register.php in the theme folder. Can you check and see if that file is there.

Buddymatic doesn’t do any handling of the contents of the admin bar. Sounds like one of your upgrades didn’t complete successfully.
Try reinstalling BP first, then MU.

I uploaded hybrid buddy before Justin released 0.7. My next version (other than bug fixes to the current one) of hybrid buddy will be for BP 1.2 and will have the 2.9 changes from hybrid.

Another possibility is a large table in the database that is having frequent data insertions/changes/deletions.

If you want to show the avatar on each post then you would get the avatar for $post->post_author. It would probably be a very minor tweak to the theme.

I haven’t thought through how practical or difficult it would be to support the existing component structure. But, what if there was a base component class that all components extended (the way widgets extend the base widget).
In the child class you would need a registration process providing the component identifiers & possibly the URI to [...]

@Andy – A DB suggestion:
Make a register component api so that all components that are going to record in the SWA have to register. The registration process should occur at plugin activation and the component name strings are stored in a component table.
Once that is in place then you can eliminate the varchar component [...]
