I'd like to know why does Time Machine, iTunes9 & Youtube slow my iMac down? TM & iTunes are the worst?
When TM is running every hour on the hour (For about 3-4 minutes) my iMac is virtually useless. I can surf around a bit or do some word doc stuff but nothing video related.
Same thing for downloading multiple songs from iTunes (this wasn't a big deal prior to iTunes9, don't understand why 9 is so much of a power hog).
Youtube is a different beast all together. If I want to watch a video when I click the video I can't move my mouse or scroll at the same time or it locks everything up & I get the spinning beach ball!
