To confirm this, you could rename your 'folder.jpg' files to (say) '_folder.jpg' and then try browsing the folders again with your DLNA device to see if it is any faster. My guess is that it will be the same. Let us know your findings.
When you first browse a folder in Mezzmo or on your device, Mezzmo gets the list of files and adds these file into your Mezzmo library (including getting the text metadata and artwork). The metadata and artwork are stored in the Mezzmo database for fast retrieval. When you browse the folder again, Mezzmo already has the metadata and artwork so this step is skipped (meaning your folder.jpg files should not be accessed again). The slowness you are experiencing would be coming from accessing your drive, getting the list of files & checking for any changes. That is where we may need to address speed issues. We'll look into it.
Another possible reason: Is the drive a NAS drive or external USB drive? It is possible that the drive has gone into it's sleep mode and it requires a few seconds to wake up before Mezzmo can get the list of files. Try turning off sleep mode on your drive's settings and see if this helps.
Sorry i should have explained it a little better, my slow issue isnt with the DLNA device, its slow in the Mezzmo app. When i click the TV folder there is a 30second delay when nothing happens, then all the folders are shown as covers. If i click another folder and come to TV, the same delay every time.
As a test, i have renamed all the folder.jpg files and the TV folder now shows in about 3seconds. No other change made, only renamed the folder.jpg in all subfolders in TV. About 30 subfolders.
Lastly the disk is local and mounted in the server so not USB or NAS.
Cheers
Gus
