And it's back to being slow again.
The clips was still slow to load even if the next screen loaded quick.

I found the problem....and it's little bit strange...I disabled (via code) the thumbnails and (via addon-settings) fanart...no slowing down at all - fast as hell. As soon as I use one of them (fanart or thumbnail) the system gets the hick ups. The CPU is even at full! I Disabled also DDS for images via advanced settings...no difference. My suspicion is the download of the thumbs and fanart...

I estimated the size for 50 entries in a worst case to be ~30MB ((~550kb fanart + ~50kb thumbs) * 50) :/

I try to optimize some things....

I have the exact same issue, it takes about a minute for the thumbnails to be loaded and during this time the system i jerky as hell. It only happens the first time the script is started after a restart of Kodi, thereafter everything is smooth. Funny thing is that i have the exact same issue and symptoms when Youtube thumbnails are loaded with phils extended info script when executed the first time after a restart of Kodi.The issue with that script have been reported by a handful other people but no solution has been found. The root cause might be the same and it makes me wonder if this might not be scrips specific but related to something else?

I'm on windows.

I thought it was normal behavior (sluggish loading of video thumbs in the YouTube add-on when you first start Kodi). I'm running Win7 too. It never bothers me cause everything runs smoothly after that initial hiccup. But I don't remember seeing the same behavior on my Android TV box. (both with 5.0.8) I'll try to verify this and report back.
