It's just slow and clunky on a PC in my experience. It was like that for me even when I had sight, and used no screenreader at all. I'm using a 2 year old Mac mini with 2GB of ram and a 2.0ghz processor. My windows machine has 4GB of RAM and a 2.54ghz processor but, iTunes performs better on the Mac.
