I'm not familar with the Mac to know the issues. Sounds like the
CoreMidi might not do a good job of getting midi events routed to
external synths and does a better job of routing them to AU plugins.
And also if you are talking about going over midi cables to actual
external synths..that introduces more latency. Using a virutal midi
port driver SHOULD in theory be much much better and approach close to
zero latency..low enough that you would not notice any difference
between that and a plugin, whether it be AU or VST or whatever..
Anyway, sounds like AU is working great on the Mac, so there is no point
in using GPO studio.

performance is objectively much better than performance via an
external host, like Garritan Studio -- AU supports greater polyphony
with fewer dropouts and less distortion on the same system. This is
simply not up for debate.

The fact is AU/VST stinks in comparison.
That's utter nonsense. AU/VST playback has lower latency and is more
efficient, allowing more simultaneous instruments/polyphony on the
same hardware compared to a MIDI solution like Garritan Studio,
which requires more computational overhead.
AU/VST playback also hooks into Human Playback much better.
"utter nonsense" may be a bit strong here -- how can you call "utter
nonsense" something which someone else has heard with his own ears?
I think this may be one of those "if the computer is set up one way A
sounds better, if it's set up differently B sounds better."
But I am sure Gerald is able to distinguish what he has heard and
knows which sounds better to him. :-)
