Description of the bug

Attempting to load my audiobooks, the api call never completes, after 37seconds it gives up, it tries again, and gives up after 37seconds, and never does anything else except leave the spinner on the screen.

I have 51 audiobooks in my collection.
When I load the page, jellyfin pegs the cpu at 100% usage, and stays that way for 90 seconds, everytime I view the audiobooks.

I have moved this to a much faster machine, and there I can get jellyfin to display the 51 audiobooks, but it takes 21seconds and pegs the cpu at 100% the whole time.

Reproduction steps

Load up a few audio books.
You probably need a fairly large jellyfin.db file, with other things in it to get it to be too slow, mine is currently 800megs with 120k items in BaseItems table.
Click on books, then audiobooks.
For me, clicking on books and books works, takes 12seconds for 10 books

What is the current bug behavior?

Spinner spins forever after the api call gives up after 37 seconds

What is the expected correct behavior?

Well, 51 books shouldn't take >37s to load, but it shouldn't give up after 37s either.

possibly related to these API Performance Degradation & Slow UI bug reports (all related to audio/music playback & UI loading time)?

Not certain if related but ebooks are the same way.

After Audiobooks not loading finding this issue. Not having access to audiobooks at all in Jellyfin 10.11 is a bit of a downer. Hope this can be investigated.

@theguymadmax should this have the regression tag?
