There are a bunch of threads discussing web browser performance in this forum which is very much dependent on the web browser, what is running the web browser and how much is being rendered in html (large album list in tag view or a large playlist in now playing view).
Running top on the Pi won't show you anything to do with the load on a phone, if thousands of tracks was in the playlist then it's most likely the web browser on the phone was stuck rendering the tracklist html in the browser. An MPD client wouldn't suffer from this of course as it's not rendering html in js.
