Since Qobuz is now available in Germany I started to play around with it
over Christmas. I first installed the plugin on my Pi and also found it
very sluggish - taking about half a minute to load the playlist of a
productive arstist, like described above.

Ouch... shame on me! I installed the plugin on my Pi to run a few tests. And indeed it was very slow. It's not the network. It's not the parsing of the bulk of data. It's a _debug_ statement causing the delay!

> Then I copied the plugin and
pref-file to my SB-touch and started tinySB and guess what? It's fast
and responsive, loading the nearly 200 Albums you get, when you search
for Bob Dylan within a second (you can't scroll fast enough in iPeng to
generate a stall). So the problem an the Pi can't be CPU-power alone,

The difference between the Touch built-in server and a regular LMS is that all debug login is disabled from the ground up on Touch. In regular use it's up to the developer to check whether debugging is enabled or not. Which I did not do in this case.

After fixing this browsing albums lists of eg. ABBA or Elvis (which you can imagine are long) are almost instant.

Thanks for bringing up this issue! A fix is on its way.
