Why is iTunes so slow to react?

[Quaddy]

wow - suprised to see others with quick machines experiencing lag on itunes, i have a bit of a delay in switching playlists and live search etc, but i am using an imac G3 600Mhz. but its totally usable, and my library is large, approx 600gb in wav and mp3

i guess the mac version must be way better optimized then!

wish itunes would support RIFF data!

then i would be completo!

ya..but its hardly used on Windows by me.

it is very slow, very laggy & sound quality is also questionable.

Quality may be questionable on MS Windows. But on Mac OS X, just untick a couple of settings and its bit-perfect. Can't beat that for sound quality...
