It is not the skin and there are no scripts when in the views, we use what Kodi gives us, if you have moved thumbnails than that is probably the problem, this is what happens when you have limited space on android boxes and I know myself this situation. I've moved thumbnails on a couple of devices and they are slow afterwards in some areas.
Skin.Helper addon might be in some of the views but again it just gets the artwork but I don't recall showcase using skin.helper so that is all down to what Kodi itself is doing.
It is Kodi supplying the artwork so Kodi is taking the time to get the artwork not the skin.
The skin doesn't re-scrape any artwork itself, we simply use properties provided by Kodi. If you use it it is Artwork downloader that initially gets and fills these properties in the DB for a movie.
