if your computer is running slow because of iTunes...you most be one broke ass dude.
I'm not so sure I feel comfortable with throwing the n-bomb around, even in abbreviated form.

My computer doesnt run slow because of iTunes, my computer is beastly, and i dont have it.
However i worked in home computer repair for 3 years, ending last november when i switched jobs. When i started doing that stuff the majority of the peoples computers ran slow due to viruses and way too many startup entries. Towards the end of my repair run, the two main culprits for any computer slow down were: Norton and iTunes (Adobe Reader and AOL being tied for third).
