Is Apple's iTunes client for Windows a hog?
As if you wouldn't have guessed, I installed Apples iTunes client
for Windows almost immediately after it became available. The sound
quality seems to be much better than what I'm used to (RealOne
Player) but bringing up Windows Task Manager confirmed my suspicion,
iTunes is one resource hungry hog, deploying an iPodSerivce and
iTunesHelper besides the player. All together those things inhabit
over 35 MB of your PC's RAM and while playing, iTunes accounts for
about 7% CPU usage on a P4-2GHz.
Anyway, usually I don't spend time on all these cool and hip music sites but checking out iTunes was the perfect excuse to catch up. Fortunately, when iTunes for Windows launched, the store site features Sarah McLachlan's new CD, which is going to be released on November 4th.
