Very slow loading of cover art and game starts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Any release after 67a with new above and below screen menus
2.Using cover flow to look though games takes VERY long to load covers
I a was using 67a for the longest with no problem. Decided to update and all 
others after 67a with new GUI drop down menu are very slow to show art and 
seems to lock up on screen "finger pointer" for a few seconds while loading. 
How do I get back to 67A or turn off this drop down menu and speed things up 
like in 67a?
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
interface is buggy in my opinion

What version of the loader are you using?
seems to be all version after 67a but just downloaded 69D

What is your System Menu version (e.g. 4.2u)?
HDD

What is your media type (HDD, USB Flash, SD/SDHC)?
HDD

How is your media formatted (wbfs, fat32, ntfs)?
ntfs

Which cios are you using, which version, which base (222,249,...)?
(Please try both 249 and 222 with cfg-222.dol)
249

Does it work with other loaders?
On have CFG-loader

Does it work with the latest or an older version?
not with the latest, and can't get back to the version I know worked which is 
67a

Please provide any additional information below.

since update from 67a, all newer versions with the drop down are slow. Cover 
Art is slow to load in flow and starting a game using the newer drop down menus 
locks up the finger pointer for a bit and takes longer to load and start games. 
When trying to roll back version to 67a that I know works, it is no longer 
listed I guess because it is too old but it worked for me.

Since my original post earlier, I have found verion 67A.dol and have manually 
downloaded it and replaced the .dol file with it. I would however like the 
advantages of the bug fixes available in the newest versions without the newer 
buggy GUI or at least fix them. I would love the full size cover art and games 
to load, start and work as fast and efficiently as everything does with 67A.

This is probably due to the new cover cache being generated on-the fly.
Let it do that and then restart the loader and see if it works faster.
Use version: cfg69d.dol
