I've been using Cocoon 1 and 2 now on Mac OS X (and it's developer pre-releases) practically since Cocoon started. We develop on Mac OS X (with some work ocassional work on Windows) and deploy on FreeBSD and have absolutely no problems with installation or speed.
Cocoon 2 is very powerful indeed, and is throughly substance over spin. On the general issue of Java and speed you might like to look at recent postings to the Cocoon developer discussion list which note that Java based Xalan XSLTC (XSLT compiler) runs substantially faster than the native competition.
