I'd endorse this approach.  I moved away from running LMS on a PC years
ago for exactly the reason you're finding.  I moved it to a NAS, but
performance was never great.  I moved to a Pi using piCorePlayer with
LMS a couple of years ago and haven't looked back.  Fast to boot, speedy
operation, and just keeps running.  Mine lives under the stairs, with a
direct network connection to my my switch, but it can just as easily run
via Wi-Fi.

All you need is to buy a Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB RAM (you don't need the
larger memory), a power supply, and a micro SD card.  While you don't
need a case or heatsink for what you'd be using it for, an 'Aluminium
Armour'
(https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Pi-Aluminium-Armour-Heatsink/dp/B083G2R16Z)
heatsink case is a cheap/great solution.

'docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to' (https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to)
tells you, step by step, how to set up piCorePlayer and then how to
install LMS on it.  If you follow each step, it's really pretty easy.
