Emacs is the bomb. Free, cross-platform, extendable, and butters your toast. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that several other Mac applications respond to the same cursor movement keyboard shortcuts. It's like...ahhhhhhhh
I too tried Eclipse and NetBeans and found them seriously flawed (on the Mac platform at least) and I am using state of the art quad core intel hardware. My beefs were not so much with performance, duh, but with the heavy handed project paradigm in Eclipse and the bugginess of NetBeans code completion. Both were show stoppers for me. Emacs is included in Leopard through the Terminal application, but you might want to set up MacPorts and install the X version. There is a PHP mode for Emacs, also available through MacPorts, that provides some useful features for PHP development.
