Since I was unsure whether this is better as feature request (because it deals with changing how osu! handles the skin) or if it is a bug (since forever?), I'm making a topic here as well. Feature req. t/487300
Basically, when using a skin specific for taiko mode with the "Use Taiko skin for Taiko mode" the game will load it's image files as they are needed.
So when I made animated hits the game got much more stuttering when loading the hit animation.
