pieh Wrote:background="true" cause loading textures in background thread(s) and this should be used exclusively with big textures resolutions (f.e. backdrops/fanarts) and shouldn't be abused too much (launching too many background workers will have negative effect on overall performance).
So general guideline is to have as little background loaded textures as possible and use it exclusively for fanarts/backdrops.
We propably should have some smart mechanism of detecting if texture should be loaded in background or not and handle multiple textures load smarter but we're seriously lacking work hours to get some changes done

<preloaditems> will automaticly cap to 2 if bigger value was provided so this is not an issue
Thanx for clearing this up, i'll go through all my xml's and start a cleanup.
