I can not say anything about other skins or mods. Each skin has its own code and features. Hundreds of users tested the skin during development and no one reported slowness about the widgets.
I'm going to research how I can improve this.

i confirm, in particular, that widget load too slow on my htpc, ( in may case beteween 5 and 10 seconds,). (leia 18.1 and lastes skin version).
