Cover rendering is slower in the GTK3 (1.1.19) version #214

You probably already know about this, but in 1.1.16, if I have a wall of cover art, it loads up blazingly fast. However, In the beta version, it takes a while for all the album covers to fill in.

There is a known slowness when using embedded pictures. As a function was not working properly with the bindings, and I had to use a very slow work-around. It is fixed in git (6dac38a6404d18822629828fe97f8f94990e93d9), but only if you have Glib::Object::Introspection version 0.049, which dates from october 2020, so your distribution might not have it anyway. You can check your version with: perl -e 'use Gtk3 "-init"; warn $Glib::Object::Introspection::VERSION'

Increasing the in-memory picture cache (in the misc tab) can help a bit.
