Performance on MAC

I have a 2009 Mac Pro and Gnucash does seem slow, but not unreasonably 
so.  It is definitely not as responsive as most other applications, but 
I still wouldn't characterize it so much as "slow" as just "not 
snappy".  I suspect it's just that GTK on OSX is slower than on other 
platforms, and I don't think there's much you can do about it (unless 
you want to rewrite some of the GTK code).  But I'd be happy to be wrong 
about that if anyone has suggestions.
