BigBox poor performance when browsing arcade playlists ONLY!

[RetroConnection]

Hello everybody!

I would like to ask the community for help, especially the devs, because my problem is really strange.
Since this happens in more than one theme, I thought it was important to report to the community and not just the themes support page.

There is something causing a slowdown when browsing arcade game lists, but only arcade games.
This is happening in three of the new themes I tested, namely Pulse, Sleepstream and Playbox 6. .

Important points in the analysis:

• No bugs in any other category of said themes
• No bug on recent Flikbox theme
• No bug on BigCouch theme
• No bug on Colorful theme
• No bug on Default BigBox theme

My specs:

• Ryzen 3 - 2200G
• Nvidia GTX 1050
• Kingston 16GB 2400MHZ
• SSD for installation
• All games and LaunchBox are on the same SSD.

I made a video. You can access it in the post where I had made the complaint.

Thanks for the report. Just a few things you should remember about custom themes. They are not all made equally. Some themes will utilize more Media types than others, or use static images, gifs, more metadata, animations… etc. All of this can increase a theme’s performance footprint for each view. Views can also be poorly optimized, code-wise, and can always be improved upon.

So, while I’m not saying this is indeed the issue you are seeing, it’s definitely something you should remember when trying out different themes.
