Emby becomes very slow when Internet is down

[ChipL 6]

We've had a few home internet outages recently due to storms, etc. At this time, Emby because our sole means of entertainment.  While it generally works, navigating between screens often becomes painfully slow. I guessed that it was trying to use the internet to get certain information, so I looked in the logs and found many timeouts trying to get artwork:   https://ebyl.tmsimg.com/assets/p7893024_b_v8_aa.jpg?w=480&h=720

I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but the errors seem to coincide with sluggish behavior. During an internet outage, we can absolutely live without pretty artwork for recorded programs, etc. It would be nice if such requests were asynchronous behind the scenes so artwork could come in when it's available, but doesn't slow the UI.  This problem exists on all devices we have:  web UI, Firestick and Roku.
