Again: the "caching" message has nothing to do with artwork!

This is clearly your server creating artwork thumbnails for iPeng 7.
iPeng 2 used 150x150 thumbnails on everything. iPeng 7 still does so on
iPad 2 because it doesn't have a retina screen. Your server created
these thumbnails long ago so using them is fast.

iPeng 7 on the iPhone 4S (actually on anything but iPad 2 and non-retina
iPad mini) now uses 300x300px thumbnails which need to be created. They
are being created whenever they are first used, not during "caching",
that's what iPeng 1.0 did back in the days and it got a lot of servers
down on their knees.

No, it's nothing to do with the phone, it's the new artwork format.
Since you are using 7.8 (recent beta, I hope), I'd do a "Clear & Rescan"
of the library (actually an incremental rescan might do as well, just
not sure) which will make the server create the thumbnails during the
scanning process, after that everything should be fast. Or wait until
everything has been loaded by iPeng at least once.
