Podcast List view == Massive Memory Leak?

Question

Podcast List view == Massive Memory Leak?

I’m wondering if doing the global refresh of podcasts in the Podcast List view is triggering the massive memory leak that I and many others have experienced with v11.2.2? What I just observed is when I am using the podcast list view iTunes used several GB of memory and became unresponsive. I then force quit iTunes and when I restarted I set the podcasts view to My Podcasts and clicked the refresh button. What I observe is that iTunes uses about 275 MB of memory which seems reasonable to me. Anyone else?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), 16GB RAM, 960GB SSD, Hi-rez display

I'll also point out that if I rate a podcast in the list view, iTunes again leaks a ton of memory.

I don't think it's a memory leak, but it's seems to be using 100% of CPU to do anything with podcasts... So it's doing things VERY slowly..

even just trying to update ONE podcast! brings itunes to a crawl..

Open Activity Monit or and look at the CPU usage tab

Looks like iTunes v11.3.1 solved these issues. I'm now able to refresh and rate podcasts using the List view without iTunes becoming unresponsive and using massive amounts of memory.
