Building huge playlists like that can certainly be slow. If you want a shuffle on a big list of music, I'd suggest you look at erlands plugins here http://erland.homeip.net/download (primarily DynamicPlaylist and SQLPlaylist), which dynamically generates playlists in blocks of 10 tracks at a time. The performance is far better this way.
