Firefox is already turbo-charged, I made those revisions months ago - as
to why 600 albums, like so many folks I often like to browse cover art

Of course it is, but you're not complaining that it can't display them,
but that it can't load the
I know Moose is a fancy slipcover for SC, but my point is that the
minute or two it takes 600 album covers to load in SC takes about 15

is happening during the artwork phase of the scan. It's also important
to remember that Moose isn't a replacement for SC, it's a replacement
GUI for SC. SC is still there under the hood.
As for the embedded player, I assume
Oh and I forgot to mention, the album art is pretty snappy these days
