Nope. I don't know about the other guys but I'm not talking iTMS. I'm talking the App itself. Its slow. But as someone else stated its acceptably slow. But then I open up Music Match and the GUI and responsiveness of the GUI is at least, by eyeballing it, about 1.5x the speed of iTunes. Im running iTunes on a 866Mhz laptop, with 512MB of RAM. There is zero excuse for any app that does only music to not run at a decent clip on such a device. This is pure speculation but Im guessing that Music Match takes advantage of Direct X and iTunes does not. *shrugs* again it works acceptably fast enough but it isnt blazing.
