As of the recent update of kodi, it's running very slow. The reason is python. From python's dev's there was a warning that python >= 3.10 has new functions that are not compatible with previous version. In gnome boxes I installed debian 11 that uses python 3.7, installed kodi, and everything was running smooth again.

The plugins needs an upgrade to version >= 3.10.

How to easy resolve the problem:


sudo apt install distrobox

distrobox create -i quay.io/toolbx-images/debian-toolbox:11

distrobox enter debian-toolbox-11

sudo apt install kodi

distrobox-export --app kodi

exit

Then you will find in your menu the symlink to the debian-11 version of kodi.

Not sure if this is the case here, however this could also be linked to python compiler optimization level used by Kodi. 

See here.

So pre-compiling the python libraries with optimization level one might also help.
