When scrolling, no image gets loaded (black squares shown, even when text has been loaded) until I stop, then again one image is loaded after the other. They are also only are loaded when scrolling to a position and stopping the swipe (i.e. only when visible on screen). When all images have been loaded, I can scroll normally with all images shown. As soon as I exit the list and enter it again, the loaded images are gone and slowly are re-populated as described above. fwiw, I use a Galaxy S2, performance is fine.

To add to pippin's explanation: There are basically two GUI modes for a plugin (I'll call them web and jive, not sure what the official names are) - Web: only shown in LMS web gui, usually what you see if you go to settings/plugins/[plugin name]/settings. Uses server-based HTML templating engine (included in LMS), server sends the complete HTML page. Mainly used to configure plugins. AFAIK not available in 3rd party remotes / GUIs - Jive: available on Touch, Controller, LMS Web UI, some 3rd party remotes / GUIs. Based on GUI definition sent by server (e.g. textfields, buttons, ....), client needs to parse definition, render UI, control user interaction, and send result data back to server. Usually used to extend regular menus (Extras, My Music), or context menus. You could e.g. try the SmartMix plugin, which uses all all of the above techniques.
