Hi Michael,

Your matrix makes me wonder: are you trying to play from a launchd daemon?

Try taking an Instruments trace that captures thread scheduling activity. It 
sounds like the daemon is in a throttled state, which would show in a kernel or 
Instruments trace as having its threads running at a very low priority.
