I'm just guessing but I don't think the emulated version is faster, just that it is not being throttled. Usually, when creating games or demos there is a throttle in the code to stop the main loop from executing as fast as it can. It looks like this is being respected on Mac but not in the emulator. My guess would be something in the event package is doing this.
