I have been using all four, and they seem to be working out. None of them are TOO too slow. But I haven't fully investigated or tracked for 'non-consistent performance', not sure what you mean there, just that sometimes it's slow? All of those seem to work fairly well for me. There is another source of free _movie_ cover images, but I forget what it is and haven't investigated it yet. Also there are several sources for free musical album cover images, which likewise I haven't investigated yet but would like to. Jonathan Edward M.
