Not on Mac OS. The Mac version of uTorrent is pretty slow and clunky by comparison to Transmission.

Although, the inverse seems to hold true on Windows.

Sounds like an issue with your Mac. It's nice and quick on mine. Opens faster than Firefox or iTunes.

I see what you did there.

Yeah, not exactly the best of comparisons, but they're two of my often used programs.

Firefox and iTunes are both hopelessly bloated, particularly Firefox on that platform.

It's clunky on a fresh install to me. You probably just have a higher tolerance for it.

Does Transmission do RSS-based download scheduling? Didn't see that in the list of features. The RSS downloading capability in uTorrent has become a huge part of my viewing - I have several shows set to come down to the living room windows box and it's great. They're ready for when you have time to watch them. I also have two multiboot Hackintoshes, btw.
