One other question James: are the OS9 and OSX systems you're comparing running on the same box or different boxes? Because another issue you *may* be running into *might* have to do with the capability of the graphics card/s (yet another variable in the problem).
Regardless, it still may be possible to script a solution around your problem.

Same machine.
I have a scripted solution for OS X. But it is not very good. You can see this best in Turtle Graphics applied to controls:
In the message box: go url "http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/ControlTurtles.rev";
Just click the button "Fixed/Not fixed for OS X"
The issues are related to the screen refresh in situations in which there is an evolving graphic, a display generated in a repeat loop, or mouseMove. One can force a refresh with "Wait 0 millisec" or "Unlock screen."
Without the forced refresh, things are displayed very quickly but only intermittently.
With the forced refresh things are displayed smoothly but much more slowly than in OS 9 or Windows.
I would hope there would be a compromise. But maybe not. It may be an inherent problem with the greater demands that OS X places on graphics display--as Richard pointed out.
