Rob - thanks a bunch for putting in the hard work! I think that there is a bug in the new version of the plugin because of the following problem. QS seems to be accumulating real and virtual memory with time. For example, I was listening to itunes all through the morning and yesterday evening/night and QS became unresponsive around noon today. I checked and found that it was using >1GB real (and ~idential virtual) memory. I have restarted it but the memory use seems to be slowly going up (from 38MB starting to about 42MB in about 10 mins). I'll repost if I see the same behavior being replicated. In the meantime, I hope this heads-up helps if there is a real problem.
FYI: I am running the latest snow leopard and itunes versions on a 32- bit intel macbook pro with 2GB RAM. The machine was rebooted yesterday afternoon after updating itunes.
