Had this same problem as well...
ZERO success in finding solution online, so I figured I'd come to Zune.net and contact Support, didn't realize there were forums here!
I have a pretty decent system:Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz... 3GB RAM.
I knew this was most likely a Zune issue, because Windows Media Player was fine. Even updated audio drivers... naturally, no fix.
Disabling the Video Enhancements instantly solve my problem!
I've got the same problem. I have an xps m1330 with 2gb ram and T7300 processor. I'm sorry, but if the new software needs more power than that, that's just foul.
The only other possible expanation I can imagine is that, as I look at my library, the software's still working in the background to update it, which might be eating up some resources (and will hopefully fix my other issue with the new software: whacked out library).
How fast's your computer? The new client appears to take up more processing power than the old one.
Its possible you might have too many programs running or your processor is being throttled. You could try increasing the priority of Zune.exe (Task Manager -> Processes -> find zune.exe -> right click -> set priority -> Above Normal). Try it at your own risk of course. Set it back to Normal priority if the rest of your computer starts acting too sluggish.
