Soulseek server reports: "server: System Message: You have been banned for 30 minutes"

Greetings! Thanks for the great integration between Lidarr and Soulseek. Overall, it's been working well, but I notice that the Soulseek server regularly bans my account for searching too quickly. Exact message shown on the Chat screen of my slskd web-ui is:

server: System Message: You have been banned for 30 minutes. This is usually the result of doing too many operations at once. Do not flood chat rooms or private chat with many messages. Do not repeat the same text several times in a row. Do not quickly repeat a search. Do not connect and disconnect quickly. Do not connect many clients at once from the same IP. This list is by no mean exhaustive. You will be able to reconnect to the service in 30 minutes. NOTE: This is an automatic message, dont try to answer it.

which leads to bad searches, I think (?):

Any tips on what I can configure to avoid the temporary bans? Here is my redacted Soularr config.ini:

I've added a PR for a caching feature which will help with this.
