I use a Mac Pro tower and a Samsung Windows laptop, both on pretty much a daily basis, and for me, REAPER runs great on both, better than Pro Tools and about the same as Logic, both of which I also use regularly. REAPER consistently gets the lowest stable latency, not just on our primary Antelope converters, but even when using Avid Pro Tools boxes.

I'm sorry that it's not working as well for you, but I'm not sure that REAPER has a flawed mac implementation. Macs are famously supposed to the be all the same, but they're not, really.

Things like DVD drives and video cards can create wonky effects, even if they are OEM. The factory in Indonesia made some "improvement" to the network-card chip, and all of a sudden you have interrupts on the data bus that cause audio problems. This kind of stuff is generally BETTER on mac than on windows or linux, but it's not perfect anywhere. Especially if you have anything aftermarket, like hard drives, network cards, USB cards, optical drives, etc etc.
