Album art does not show until you play a track.  This is obviously a problem

collection size.

I'm not sure what the problem is here; could you describe it more specifically?
 

And, there's no functionality to adjust cover art, in the
case that it's incorrect, which has happened frequently in older versions of
Banshee as well as other music programs.

You should find no major problems if your music is well-tagged, but the request to manually control what Banshee has been requested in Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336350.

I preempt any problems by using MusicBrainz Picard to tag my music correctly and to download cover art for me.
 

Also, the Download Album Art
function did nothing as far as I could tell.  CPU usage was between 45 and
95% when simply playing tracks (this is on a 3.6GHz Core Duo machine with
2GB of RAM, running Jaunty), which made the system incredibly slow, with the
screen frequently greying and hanging.

Another bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548131

Again, I'm not trying to say that anyone is doing a poor job or make anyone
feel bad, simply giving my feedback, which I assume the devs would want to
know or hear in order to make their program better.

Certainly your (constructive and/or specific) feedback is welcome. :)

Cheers!
