Unfortunately the "video player" setting in the modified "playercorefactory.xml" makes Kodi properly stream the file from Spotify. Without that setting, Kodi does not use streaming and downloads the file before starting to play it. That's why it was slow to start.
I've just added a new 'v1.3.6-experimental' version which uses a different web server to handle streaming. Can you try that. I think it is some network/web server issue. Strange it works OK with my Windows test. Maybe a windows setting. Anyway, if you can try the new version and let me know that would be good.
Also, if after the new version install you get strange errors or menu issues, then run 'Clear the plugin cache' menu item on the opening Spotify menu and restart Kodi.
