CPU usage and memory footprint NEED to be much lower on OS X. Playing music should not take 12.5% of your core CPU usage on a quad-core Intel. Lets hope this actually gets taken care of. Only reason I am not using Songbird heavily because it's playback is laggy compared to iTunes. It's not a huge deal when you aren't using CPU intensive applications, but it becomes a problem when you are. Seriously it’s about time someone puts PERFORMANCE on their high priority list.

Ripping is the only thing I use iTunes for now, so I'm looking forward to being able to drop that sucka entirely. Again, eagerly anticipating this being available on PortableApps... or gaining the ability to control where my darn index & config information is kept. Lookin’ good!
