What system are you running? And does it show the images when it loaded the list?
I have also stored my roms and artwork on smb and I can hardly read the caching images message on my two PCs. I have an old atom test system that takes some time to cache the images but far away from 5 mins.
On one of my systems I have the issue that rcb can't access my smb share when it is the first instance that tries it. As soon as I access the share in any other kodi dialog (like file manager), rcb can access it without problems. (I think I made some mistake when setting up this source but I did not yet investigate). When this happens, rcb also takes a very long time to cache the images. But it won't show any images when the list is loaded.
The caching is done per Rom collection. So it does not matter how many games are listed. It matters if you have selected a rom collection in your filter settings.
Atm rcb always caches all images for all selected rom collections. I think I will rework this that it only caches the artwork that is shown in the game list. This should be much faster.
In the meantime you could go back to 2.1.5. Rcb has made backups of your old config.xml and mygames.db. Just delete the new files and rename the old ones and you should be able to use 2.1.5.
