ITunes (v. 11.1.5.5) is slow, freezes occasionally, pauses songs every few seconds, and just generally stinks. What should I do?

Ever since I updated iTunes to 11.1.5.5, it has become a mess. It's slow to start. Once it finally gets going and allows me to click something, it usually freezes up for a short time. This happens especially if I click the search box in my library. If I manage to get a song playing, it will skip constantly. After about 5 songs of doing this, it will usually correct itself and play right. If I try to go to the iTunes Store, it might take 5 minutes to come up. Altogether the entire program is just slow and unresponsive most of the time. If I buy an album and try to download it, it'll only let a few songs download and the others will have errors. I've had iTunes since the original version and I've never had this many issues with it.
Here's what I'm working with:
-HP Pavillion m7 Notebook PC
-Windows 7 Home Premium
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
-8GB of installed memory (RAM) 7.90Gb usable
-64 bit operating system
*I'll be happy to provide any more information
I only use this computer for music and I have about 40GB worth. Could I have too much music? Is anyone else having these types of problems with this version?
