how many tracks the Jazz genre contains in the standard "Genre" browse
menu and in the Custom Browse "Genre" browse menu ?

The behaviour you describe seems like a bug. I can understand that
hitting play in Custom Browse could take a bit longer than hitting play
in the standard browse menus, but it shouldn't make the system unusable
afterwards. The reason Custom Browse takes longer time is that it does
more than the standard browse menus, but I would have expected it to
work as usual after the 30 seconds it took for the first artist to
start playing.

Does the same problem also occur when you hit play on a "artist" or on
a "genre" that contains less number of tracks ?

It should work, but I know I've had performance problems earlier when
you hit play on an item that contains a lot of sub items.

You can create a dynamic playlist as you described in 2. I guess I
could change the behaviour so the play button launches this dynamic
playlist, but I'm not sure this is what all users want. Today you need
to hold play button down for a while to reach it.
