Hello,
This is my first post, I'm a new Kodi user.
I am not sure if this is the right thread but I have a performance issue that seems related to heavy processing on client side.
My setup:
My only concern is the load time on the app, I often get the monkeys dancing when browsing my music library.
I have around 1000 albums.
A typical case is when I browse to an artist that has many albums, it takes more than 10 seconds to display a list of 15 albums or so.
And that performance is not on the 1st load (which is even significantly slower) but on subsequent visits where the list is supposed to be already cached.
I don't have such dramatic performance on the web client on my laptop.
Which leads me to think that the bottleneck is the CPU and memory of my old iPhone, which would corroborate what has been said earlier in this thread.
As this thread is a couple of years old, I wonder if any progress has been made since?
I think Kodi is a great system for repurposing old hardware into a great media center. I really wish I could keep using my old phone which should be more than capable of doing the job of "remote". I was actually surprised to observe performance issues on the client, I was expecting more troubles on the old RPi. But the latter handles everything thrown at him with class!

- RPi 1B+ with music and video libraries on USB drive
- iPhone4S as a remote (official app)
