iTunes performance upgrade for large libraries?

The poor performance of iTunes with large libraries is fairly well described around the web. As iTunes libraries grow the performance degrades drastically for tag/album art/lyric and other meta-data actions.



It seems like there is a database issue here? Is Apple planning to address these iTunes performance issues in Leopard? Perhaps they need to switch to use a more efficient database such as bsddb or sqlite?

    Hmm... I could swear I saw a blurb about Safari for Windows installing sqlite... or was I confusing that with Google Gears?

    How large is large - by number of tracks, or memory, etc.?

    My iTunes library is ass-slow, and contains the following:



    Video: 281 items - 144.22 GB



    Audio: 33,543 items - 275.22 GB



    Editing metadata is excrutiating.



    Hopefully iTunes 8.0 contains some performance enhancements for large libraries.
