Slow to load ES after scraping game data/artwork
-
I have a lot of systems and roms on the reotropie and last night I let the scraper run on a bunch of the systems (arcade+most everything else).
This morning I found it finished the scraping so I restarted my RPi3 (up to date everything, latest from github even) and watched as the animated splashscreen finished up and then looked at the white Emulation Station loading screen for what felt like a few minutes. Considering this was the first time it had loaded the new data, I restarted it once more and again it took several minutes to load for me.
Normally my RPi3 retropie just plays the splashscreen and it hits the ES menu after or possibly a very short "ES Loading" screen only.
Is this due to the new gamelist data and boxshots?
-
Yes. Far more data for it to read in.

That makes sense, thanks @BuZz
Would you be able to tell me here how to extend the length of splashscreen? Its in the /etc/init.d/asplashscreen file right?

@ProxyCell increase the count: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen#L47
This will also be useful information for you:

change
local delay=$((20/count))tolocal delay=$((40/count))(would double the delay). I will perhaps introduce an option for this at some point.
