Currently, I've heard that Macs will run the same game slower than Windows; my guess is this is due to the ported game code, the graphics drivers, and the OS. I wonder if switching to the Intel platform makes the first two any easier, since some of the optimized/assembly code could conceivably be re-used; this might speed up ported games quite a bit.
