Part of (if not a major) reason for the slow performance is most likely this. If you have cast artwork scraped into your library then the amount of SQL updates that occur when adding artwork increases dramatically, and these updates occur with each new artwork item that is added. That is to say, if 205 SQL updates occur when one new artwork is added (as happens with one of my movies - no exaggeration), and you need to add 6 items of artwork for each movie, that's 6*205 SQL updates per movie - 1200+ updates to add 6 new database items.
It's quite insanely inefficient, really, and not the fault of AD but the JSON processing. I have had no response from the JSON guy when asking if anything could be done to improve performance - eg. short circuiting certain updates to avoid all the unnecessary work when simply adding artwork, or when updating common fields, eg. playcount - so I guess it's head in the sand time.
