One of the most frustrating things about TB lately is every time I get an update, it runs really, really, really, really slow.

The fix is simple -- Run the troubleshooter and it sets TB as a 32 bit program, and things start to work properly. 

Why can't this be automatically done on updates, or why can't a 64 bit TB compatible program be provided?
