OK I noticed this a while back it started in r16963 the Linux merge.

r16903 Doesn't have this problem.

What happens... OK if like me you have a large Library of videos say you watch the 300th video when you exit out of this video for some reason XBMC reloads all movies Fanart from file 1 to 300+ so you site there for 15+ seconds before the fanart shows its really annoying this is also present in all builds after this is the only thing stopping me from upgrading as the Xbox is my main media center so it has to look top notch.

Video of it in action sorry about the audio lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjk5Qme44Qw#watch-vid-title

There is no log as it doesn't show anything that could be doing this Arnova said this.

Relevant looking followup post by jmarshall:

At a guess, it'll be the background thumb loader running through the items, but this shouldn't affect where you are in the list.

Other than that, the delay in loading fanart might just be a large fanart image - it's done asynchronously.

The fanart will have to be reloaded off disk if it's been removed from memory, so a delay on returning from video playback is fine also.

The only thing that will really show you what is happening is debug info on the loading of textures, which arnova would have to add (check the OutputDebugString stuff in the texturemanager, and add some as appropriate to the large texture manager).
