At this point AS is as gentle as it can be. Images are only downloaded once (unless the user deletes them, and I can't control that) and updates are only requested every 8 - 12 weeks. The only way to reduce the load anymore is just to have AS not download any images at all.
I wish more people would donate to these site to help keep them running, as they are the only reason AS can exist. But since folks don't, we are down to 2 sources for images now (and one requires you tag your music with the artist's MusicBrainzID. So here is my plea to everyone using Artist Slideshow. If you like AS, then please for the love of all that is holy donate to these two sites:
theaudiodb: http://theaudiodb.com
fanart.tv: https://fanart.tv/contribute/
If we lose another image source, I'll probably just stop maintaining this.
