Queue size affects now playing screen performance

[waffle]

Shuffle is not a feature I use. Maybe @swizzle can comment on specifics of the implementation.

It doesn't matter whether the shuffle option is on or off, it's all about the amount of tracks in the queue.

I'm curious to know if you have any UI clients other than a 6-year old Android phone you can compare performance with?

Not really. I have a couple newer devices, but they are less powerful than nexus 5 and it takes even longer for them to load that screen..
My PC opens it in about 8 seconds which is tolerable.

What version Android are you running?

9.0
