Performance?
Let alone the installer size, does anyone else out there have kind of mediocre performance with iTunes in Windows Vista? I've had a number of times where it just seems to come up black, or respond slowly, or syncing just slows my PC to a crawl. Is this just a local issue for me, or is iTunes truly broken for many other 'normal,' if you will, people out there?

Also, as a sidenote, why does an update need to be near 60 MB anyway? We don't have to download 26 MB for any Windows Media Player updates, or a multi-gigabyte download for Windows Updates.
