iTunes 8 seem a little sluggish for anyone else?

[BroadbandGamer]

iTunes 8 doesn't seem to be performing as good as the previous version.

Also, the new Visualizer is really sweet but I'm getting intermittent pausing. Is anyone else getting this?

I am seeing the same issues with the system in my signature. iTunes never has run very smoothly in Windows, but this in particular is quite sluggish. Before Magnetosphere was integrated (iTunes 8), it used to actually run very smoothly and much faster... so somehow Apple took a great plugin by the Barbarian Group and made it slightly prettier and incredibly slower in Windows

that perticular behavior is the opposite of what i'm experiencing. oddly, this has been the smoothest running build yet on my machine. never before have i been able to smoothly scroll through my entire library in list view. i just can't connect my ipod or i get a BSOD. :laugh:

Itunes question under all things apple seems the correct to me.

BroadbandGamer this has been going around the net, everyone has said the samething, apple doing a very good job on bloatware.

"I can?t say my tests are conclusive, but my long history with this file suggests that it might well be at the root of the problem for others as well.

An even bigger problem is Apple?s attitude toward its Windows customers. These additional software packages and drivers are being installed with no disclosure and no consent. A pile of software, including the troubled MobileMe service, is also being installed and enabled at startup on Windows machines, even where the user has no MobileMe account and, for that matter, no mobile device.

Apple?s Get a Mac ads love to tweak Microsoft for its frequent crashes. Someone from Apple needs to look in the mirror and realize that they?re the problem in this case."

iTunes was using 155MEGABYTES of memory in the task manager when I checked last. Talk about memory hog. That or it's got a memory leak now... How sad.

Oh, I'm not saying the scrolling performance is bad. It's certainly not better (iTunes doesn't handle 26000 songs very well) but definitely not worse. I was speaking solely to the integration of Magnetosphere...which used to run better when it was not bundled with iTunes.
