[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 840229, member: 24098"] Most games are "ported" to Mac OS X using Cider, a program that basically translates Windows API calls to those of the native OS. Regardless of how well it's done, there's always a degree of overhead with emulation of any kind. With that said, the differences should be negligible, but in general Windows should run games faster.
