Running latest max/jitter under emulation on a macbook 2ghz.

While CPU operations seems to run dandy (at least as well as my

1.25ghz g4, probably better), as soon as I move into the world of GPU

and the jit.gl stuff, patches slow to a crawl. i also noticed this

while doing some simple stuff with jit.catch~ and jit.poke~

Anyone else notice this, or am I imagining things? Also, out of

curiosity, assume there's a good, technical and in-depth reason for

the slowdown to happen here. Could I get teh bullet point version?

Unsure of the exact reasons, but my simple tests with Rosetta were 

typically pretty slow (won't be spending much time researching any 

issues here). Mach-O universal binary coming in the relatively near 

future, providing near G5 desktop levels of performance. Thanks for

your patience in the meantime.
