For RT-40377 I created a simple node-based alternative which is animating _one_ circle and in full-screen mode I get 25-35 fps on my retina MBP.

There is a huge performance problem on the Mac (I have to admit, I have no Windows machine to compare myself) with the potential to drive companies like ours, which is seriously considering/testing the technology for our product development, away from the technology. I would also hope that other people who have encountered this like the Ultramixer guys don't give up on this and keep posting qualified information, making the case for this and supporting the Oracle team by reproducible benchmarks/test cases.
