Hi all. Here goes some trick for to get more speed in MacOS.
0) Get latest version from CVS.
1) when compiling, do

./configure --enable-gui --enable-cpu=jitc_x86 --enable-release

2) In Makefile change all -O2 to -O3
3) resolution 800x600 seems to be faster then 1024x768
4) memory_size=0x10000000 - It's 256 Mb RAM - set it if is dont force to use swap (however on my linux host wit 512 RAM swap turned off at all

)
5) redraw_interval_msec = 50 - paly with it in lower size if you are brave. It may help.

It all trick that I konw for now. Contribution suggested
