I am a happy user of XBMC and tvheadend, but I wonder why loading the recordings list is so slow on not so powerful hardware (which I think is common for small media systems). For example I use a quite old Atom system, and loading my few hundred of recordings takes about 8 seconds. I once tried to replace this PC with an Raspberri Pi, but on that device it took minutes (!) to load the list. On my Android phone (Moto G) I see about the same delay as on the Atom PC.
In comparison, loading the recordings directory over NFS (Videos -> Files) is much, much faster. But of course that lacks the EPG info.
On my desktop PC recordings load very fast by the way, maybe that makes this 'bug' doesn't get a lot of attention?
By the way I am only talking about the uncached recordings list. Once it is cached it is much faster. But of course after each new recording the cache is dropped.
