Who said it's the spinner in that case?

After all, it IS syncing at that time, which means it does a lot of stuff.

Whereas the issue here is with the caret shown when the editor is idle.

Activity Monitor allows you to easily profile what the application is spending its CPU time on and it shows that iTunes spends an excessive amount of its time on updating the UI, specifically the spinner.
