I've been having some issues using my new SB2 with iTunes. The symptoms
were slow menu responses, occasional pauses every 3 seconds in the
middle of songs, CPU pegging at 90-100% and long delays when I press
play on the remote and when the music would start playing. 

It turns out that it was the combination of using both the iTunes and
iTunes Update add-in with Smart Playlists. With this setup, the
defaults will reload the entire iTunes library (and I've got about 3000
songs) whenever the library changes, which is, when you've got smart
playlists that remove songs once you listened to them, the library was
reloading after every song. 

To fix this (at least I think it has, more time will tell), I've change
the iTunes reload interval under server settings from the default of 30
to 3600 seconds. This means that the library will not reload more than
once an hour.
