Is it impossible, or unlikely that an option to cache ratings could be added?

Yes , we never find delay in fanart image on spotlight area , it always appears instant , why not ratings come instant ?

They do come instantly like fanart, as soon as it’s cached, like the fanart.

What would be the reason they do not appear instant for some users? where are their simplecache database located is it local or does it have to go across a network? is it possible that may be the bottleneck? If a user has their media and addon folders on a home server would there be a delay? if their simplecache is is on some hard drive somewhere and the the Library database is local would that explain the difference in the the times the meta appears? everything of mine is local and I have no delays IDK just brainstorming the issue.
