After adding the icon rules, there's a huge performance hit. Scrolling through the list of books is very very slow and thus laggy. I've tried using from 512x512 icons to 32x32 icons and it is still laggy. Regardless of icon pixels though, all the icons set total to 382kb, which isn't a lot.
I've tried deleting the rules and the lag is gone. I've tried the icon rules on a smaller library of ~1000 books and the lag is still there, albeit not as laggy but still lags.
So, just wondering if anyone has same problem and if there any tips to improve performance? Note: I don't think my computer (amd octocore and 16gb of ram with ssd) is that slow for adding 12 icons to the rules set, or is it?
Attached a pic of icon rules and it seems pretty simple and not a lot, which I don't understand why it will lag so much.

Are any of the rules based on columns built from other columns, they are the more likely to slow things down rather than icon size. IIRC chaley told me that 128x128 square pngs are optimal.
If you can use general program mode templates for the icon rules that should make it faster because GPM templates apparently end up as compiled Python, see ==>>
Using general program mode
If you can post a couple of the icon rules one of the templating wizards should be able to make some suggestions.
Added : It would be nice if one could disable icon/color rules one by one, or en
marche masse
