    dont know about 11.0.2 but

    i had to get back to iTunes 10.7 from 11.0.1

    Previous iTunes (11.0.1) was extremely heavy on CPU.

    1) when listening to web radio the windowserver process eats up to 50% CPU

    2) when listening to an mp3 the windowserver process eats up to 20/30% CPU

    when the player is on stop and not playing anything the windowserver process eats up to 10/15% CPU (that is what iTunes 10.7 uses on average even in the cases 1 and 2 above)

    i think is is due to all the USELESS graphic candies it displays:
    for example the scrolling song infos one gets when listening to web radios.

    glad to be back to iTunes 10.7

    hope someone can post about progress on CPU usage from 11.0.2
