Yes I would be inclined to blame 10.6.2, which I generally think of as a disaster when it comes to QC. Its almost surprising that there hasnt been more ranting about it on the net.
I doubt we have too much longer to wait till this sad moment in the evolution of QC passes. I look forward to QC on Snow Leopard getting back on track, assuming they sort out some of the problems I will be getting a powerful GPU for my Mac Pro with a view to getting OpenCL to do some interesting things. I think your macbook pro only has the 9400M graphics card but that should still deliver good enough performance in many areas, I doubt it is the problem with performance of this older composition.
