Snail's pace would describe my situation as well. 16 GB RAM, shipped with MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (2 GB).
I'm now running OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), but had slowdown problems ever since I bought this top-of-the-line Mac back in October 2013 (with Mavericks)...
Correct, the bug has been there since Mavericks.
I also used to buy table releases and played the game almost daily. But now I havn't played the game for over a year (besides testing each release in hope for a fix).

Thanks for joining Stephen!
Personally I first experienced the intermittent slow-down bug when I bought my new top-of-the-line MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) last October. The computer which shipped with Mavericks is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M and 16 GB RAM.
I have since tried most...
I still experience the periodic slow-down I had since buying my new computer with Mavericks a year ago. This on a top of the line MacBook Pro (late 2013) model with Nvidia GeForce GT 750 and 16 GB RAM. What's strange is that the game has continued to run just fine (without slowdowns) on my...
Yeah. I also keep my fingers crossed. I've made a clean install (formatted the drive) of Yosemite and installed the latest version of Pinball Arcade and it still slows down. It's really sad Farsight doesn't seem to care. :( It would be good if they joined the discussion here.

It's important to note that some system configurations are not affected by the slow-down bug. I've played just fine on a Mavericks system running on a 2008 MacBook Pro while my top-of-the-line MacBook Pro Retina from late 2013 had the slow-down bug from day 1, installed on a fresh system...
It has not solved the problems with intermittent slow-downs on my system. Just tested with the brand new 3.7.0 version – the bug is still there unfortunately. :-/
Stuart, do you have any update for us? I don't want to sound pushy but I kind of miss playing this game you know. It would be nice to hear if you have been able to reproduce the problem at Farsight and what hardware you are using in trying to do so.
I have just tried installing the brand new OS...
The sporadic lag/slow motion is discussed in this thread:

I have the latest and greatest MacBook Pro and I also experience this.
Thanks for looking into this issue!
I'm sorry to report I still have the problem. In fact I had never touched this anti-alias setting at all and as MadAxeMan says it's off when you install it. Anyway, I also tried turning it on and then deleting the settings file in Keychain Access (as there is...
I'm also still having problems with slowdown. I've given up on playing the game because of it. I posted about this to the Mavericks Update thread back in November. I guess it has something to do with the Nvidia graphics drivers as it works fine on older Macs I've tried it on (also running...
I still experience intermittent slow-down in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro Retina. Inspired by Terry's comment i ran Cocktail in order to clean up the system – even though the computer/system installation is fresh since less than a month. Nothing improved. Latest version of Pinball Arcade...
I don't think the distribution channel should be their highest priority but that they improve the Mac version.
However, if they won't improve the Mac version anytime soon I'd be happy to see some sort of cross licensing (such as Steam). That way I could license the tables on the Windows version...
I've been thinking about buying and installing Windows just to run the Steam version on my Macbook Pro. But really, it would be a pain to go through all that. Please improve the Mac version!
Haha, ok. Anyway, level 1 works well on my old computer while lagging on my new. Also, level 2 lags as well.
It's not lagging all the time, it can run smooth for a couple of minutes then it's like in slow motion for a while and then it's smooth again.
