Unreasonable delay when skipping tracks

Thats what I'm hoping you can tell us :)

If your player crashes or disconnects during USB mode, you can corrupt the files on it or even the entire filesystem. It might be a good idea to reformat it, load the test tracks I linked above, and see if the problem still occurs.
Roseweave:
I loaded older firmware and turned Directory Caching on, but there's still a notable delay.
I'll try the test files later but I'm sceptical if it would make any different, all tracks seems to have at least a 1 sec delay when skipping regardless.

wouldn't using a theme with no album art 'disable' album art? have you tried such a theme to see if skipping is faster?

You know, I'm not sure it would. Playback requests album art, not WPS and playback calls the functions to look for it no matter what. Whether somewhere down deep the AA search functions check the UI for appropriate tags, I've no idea.
The alternate way that doesn't require compiling is to use files stripped of AA and make sure no AA images exist in the music directory. At least that way it fails to locate any which would at least be faster than decoding the images.
