No need, I am sure everyone understands this. The issue here is the extreme performance hit one would take when LB has to hit disk to get it's cached data. My theory is that this will cause the whole HDD read time to take place while slowly enough that the redraw won't happen till this data is fetched. The fix for the moment is to just allow more of the cache to be held in the ram, which is orders of magnitude faster. I didn't start noticing any issues till I got over the 20K mark or so with the imported roms so it stands to reason 300MB would be enough for any light user, less than 20k roms. 800 Worked fine, even for my 51,294 roms, I just increased it to 4Gb seeing as that would give me a very wide margin for future expansion of my collection, somewhere around the quarter million roms or more at the very least. Either way, Jason solved it so there shouldn't be too many problems going forward, for which I am grateful.

@FUBAR I ended up actually maxing it out at the 4GB but anything over 800MB, the lowest I tested, worked fine. I do have over 51K roms imported and it seems that it only ends up being a problem if you have more than a few roms in total. @Jason Carr if I recall, made the default much more than the 300 it was before so it shouldn't be a problem for new users going forward. I too have 16GB of ram but on a machine with 16GB or more, I wouldn't worry at all, I mean, almost nothing uses more than a few GB at a time other than major productivity apps.

@Jason Carr If I can ask a stupid question, being one of the plebs? When a game loads up images and metadata, IIRC you mentioned somewhere else that it has to scan through a good chunk of the database for each game it loads. Does this apply to just that one platform, now that the platform XML is split, or does this apply to the whole database? I ask because I am sure I am not the only one to have whole no-intro sets for GameBoy or NES but I am of a very few people who have more than 50K roms imported. Maybe there is some superfluous looking up happening that can be toned down when a platform has fewer roms. It also seems that, as I scroll, everything that was made visible at all must be loaded before the game I am sitting on is loaded. Is there a way to stop the loading of all other roms images and metadata so that BB can catch up to what is selected easier? An example is how, at the end of my second video, how it showed the metadata of that advanced D&D game even though I had clearly moved to hover over different games. In a less crazy example, I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then out of nowhere, it suddenly caught up, loaded the metadata for the game I had selected and ALL of the other games previously that I had only scrolled by were already cached up fully. The system had less than a thousand rom images, unlike GBA or MAME which are, of course, the worst offenders due to there being an immense number of games. Dude, thanks again for looking into this for me, I REALLY appreciate it. Honestly, I was kinda hoping for a clear win like what happened on the last stream but maybe this one will be a bit harder to optimize. Keep up the great work my friend, Have a GREAT rest of your day!

@Jason Carr I think I may have tracked down the cause of this problem, or maybe just one of the causes but here goes. I happened to be browsing in BB again just testing it out and I came to notice that the only games that hiccuped like in my first video in the OP were games that did not have front box art. So, I went and turned off all of the image priorities and left ONLY the front box art and reopened BB. When I did, the performance was MANY times that of what it was and the whole of BB didn't become unresponsive and crash when sorting by a letter. The first part of this new video below is like that. as you can see, I turned the image priorities back on and then it bogs down just like it was. At the end of my new video, you can plainly see that BB becomes entirely unresponsive, it won't back out to the platform selection nor will it open any game I try to. and I also show how it is eating nearly 100% of my CPU with almost zero disk usage. This tells me that there is something going on with the image priorities as a whole that are simply killing the performance of BB. I wish I had been able to catch it when BB crashed outright but it just wouldn't do it for me when I was actually recording but I can assure you I got it to CTD at least three times and a few not responding errors before I decided to try and replicate it for a video to show you. The only reason I want to use image priorities is because I can't filter out games without images in BB so I figured any image is better than no images. Though, it seems like this was somewhat of a mistake. It also GREATLY improved performance in regular LB as well so I am sure there is something that desperately needs investigating here. If you need me to test something else just let me know.
