OK, this is probably an issue that alot of people have encountered, but I was just wondering if anybody has experience with this issue and knows what the deal is (is it a bug, config issue, or just a problem)

I download alot of DJ sets and live recordings (legal ones), and so I am often having to go through and Title the set files in iTunes to show the right Artist Title in the ID3 tag, I do this so that I can make smart playlists to easily find and play tunes and sets by a certain artist. Often these sets are an hour or longer, usually ranging from 1-2 hours each file, usually 70MB - 170MB in size...but when I go to re-title these, or title them for the first time, it takes sometimes up to 20-30 seconds to change the ID tag. Imagine trying to go through 100 of these when you are organizing your tunes!! It's a massive headache...

Anybody encountered this? What's the damn deal?
