Spotify is becoming super sluggish and unresponsive in big playlists

Spotify is becoming super sluggish and unresponsive in big playlists

So, I'm currently sitting on a few playlists, one of them at 3.2k, and I've noticed over the last months (progressively adding new music on and on), it's become unbearably slow and sluggish to navigate on the Windows Desktop app.

 

Once the music plays, it's working just fine, but filtering, search - Forget it. It easily takes 10 seconds to filter, and the app just doesn't seem to catch up with processing afterwards.

 

I feel like the desktop app could use some love. I'm a software developer myself and I'd assume there's just a lot going on internally when searching / filtering a song, as in a lot of comparison operations etc. Would love to see if some improvements could be made here - The mobile applications don't have these problems at all.
