Which LMS version is this?
This sounds like a result of that recent change I made (actually in
9.0.2) to fix missing artwork on some installations.
iPeng now uses a different ID as the default for the artwork ("coverid")
which is supposed to be correct but older server version (with "older"
being older than a few weeks ago) had an issue where the lookup of the
artwork using the coverid only worked the second time.
Michael fixed this in LMS 7.9, not sure about 7.8.1 and 7.7.6 but I'd
think the fix is there, too.

Yep. That's normal. iPeng doesn't want to get shut down in the
background so it's being a good iOS citizen and releases the artwork
from memory when being suspended. This means it need to be re-loaded
from the disc-cache when you return.
The alternative would be to keep it in memory but that increases the
risk of the App being shut down (iOS shuts down the Apps using the most
memory in the background first) and a complete cold-start takes much
longer... Artwork re-loading should be much faster in 9.0.3 than before,
though.
