Thats interesting. I did some tests with the newer late 2008 MBPs with
the 9600m/9400 and found that it was quite fast, especially with my
Rutt Etra plugin. http://002.vade.info/?p=24
I was able to get MUCH higher numbers of verts before slowdown
happened. I'll see if I can do some more testing, but I dont own one
so I cant measure it reliably.
What sorts of things did you notice being slower?
The Quaddro does not suprise me as being slower, from what I
understand its drivers are tuned for accuracy and not speed, and are
meant more for CAD/Architecture/Medical and not for image processing,
3D gaming sorts of interactive tasks. I heard this "through the
grapevine" so take it with some salt :)

Sad enough I cannot see any improvement. Performance is still worse
than old ATI based MacBook Pros. In fact, it doesn't even make a big
difference whether you run on the 9400M or the 9600M GPU.
We also recently conducted some informal tests on a new Mac Pro with
a NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 and found that Quartz Composer does not
really perform better than a previous Mac Pro model with an ATI
Radeon HD 3870. The price difference between those GPUs is about
$2,500.
The NVIDIA card is definitely a lot more capable, but Quartz
Composer does not seem to use its power on Leopard.

10.5.6 is out, and has "graphics improvements".
Anyone have any before/after performance tests with ATI and NVIDIA
cards?
