Slow UI if queue is long

[miguel7501]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

I've noticed that if the queue is long (like when playing from my 2500 liked songs), switching songs and generally navigating the UI will make the app hang for 20-30 seconds. That doesn't happen when playing from a shorter playlist.

I also noticed that once I'm in the view with the album cover and song controls, bringing up the queue is instant and I can scroll the entire queue without hiccups where the official spotify app builds the queue while scrolling.

Expected Behavior

The UI shouldn't hang, so I suggest leaving the queue in memory and only updating it when it changes, maybe with delta updates or in a separate thread from the UI.

Steps to reproduce

Play music from liked songs or a long playlist (I suggest the Synthwave/Retrowave/Chillwave playlist by moodwave records as it has over 400 songs and makes this happen consistently)

Observe the lack of smoothness
