An Atom running at 1.66GHz, because that's the processor in my main desktop machine.

It's happily capable of my other non-demanding activities like web browsing and playing 1080p H264 video, which one might expect to be a more difficult task than smooth drag-and-drop.

(NB: I don't really care though, since I switched to Clementine as soon as I heard about it, and I'm extremely happy with it; just wanted to point out that not all slowness can be attributed to additional features.)
