The problems are due to the Mac-specific parts of the code, MacMegaPOV 
has completely different code for this. The official version often 
refuses to use all available processor time (though I haven't seen it as 
bad as you describe...for me it usually only leaves 20-30% idle). 
MegaPOV doesn't have this problem.

The official version also breaks a few Mac OS X UI conventions, such as 
putting the working Quit item in the wrong menu (and having a 
non-working Quit item in its place), MacMegaPOV is better in this 
respect. It's just more useable.
