Scrolling In iTunes

[Daiden]

I opened up iTunes today and noticed that when I scroll down in the iTunes music/video store, my CPU usage jumps up to around 40% and things get rather choppy for a few seconds. Is this normal iTunes behavior, or cause for alarm?

I use a new MBP C2D.

I tested this on my Mac Pro and using the view that shows the album art next to the track listing (I assume the hardest of the CPU and HDD) I went upto about 16% CPU usage. I guess that ties in with what you are seeing on a MBP in terms of a comparable performance hit.

It shouldnt be choppy though. 😕 Unless you have like a billion images for it to scroll through.
