Loving xbmcremote! But is it just me, or is anyone else seeing performance issues with the 1.2 branch, specifically under "TV Shows"?

1.1.0 worked great, but when I upgraded to 1.2.0, TV shows was so sluggish it was frustratingly unusable. I've tried 1.2.1 as well (from http://repo.pub.meego.com) -- same problem.

I've downgraded back to 1.1.0 (Nokia N9 PR1.3) for the moment. Running XBMC 11.0 Git:a6df109.
Well, I agree that 1.2 is a little slower in the beginning. The reason for that is that I added an imagecache which downloads all the images, resizes and stores them. Once xbmcremote has downloaded all the pictures, it actually should be a little faster than previous versions. In version 1.2.1 I have moved the downloading and resizing to a separate low-priority thread which should improve things a little.

Doesn't it get faster for you again once all the images are cached?

However, if you really think its unusable, you can turn off all the images completely in the settings which really should speed things up again.
