Wanted to update this thread for any mac users in my situation. I have now installed Windows 8.1 on a bootcamp dedicated drive in my computer and tested a couple scenes
Mobile Temple is now 59 fps vs. 17 in OSX
Shooter Game is now 44 fps vs 10 in OSX
And I should mention these were all tested in the editor. When I played them as standalone games they both played at 62 fps
So clearly the mac version is in need of some great improvement. But for 100 dollars or so for Windows you can still participate on your machine.
Also clearly my hardware is maybe not ideal
