I installed itunes 11. It takes 100% of cpu and GUI is not responsive for minutes at a time.  Keystrokes are lost in the search box because of this. This worked fine in previous release. I have 4300 albums and 70k  songs.

I have an itunes library of 4000+ albums and 70k+ songs. Worked great until itunes 11 today. Now, when ever I go to the search field and type 1 character, I go to 100% CPU busy and all the other characters are lost. "itunes not responding" for a couple of minutes.  
Also happens when I am importing a CD from physical media, and I switch to music and try and find another album. Gui becomes unresponsive and activity monitor ends up reporting "Itunes (not responding)".
How go I go back to the working itunes?

Thanks. That was it I don't know why it got changed during the upgrade to iTunes 11.
However, it still takes 5-10 seconds for this menu to appear, with the cpu at 100% one core. Seems like iTunes should support multi-threaded/multi-core processing, especially for the GUI.
