You've probably heard: OS X 10.5 (Leopard) runs Java exceptionally  
slowly if at all.  This is because they've turned off OpenGL hardware  
acceleration (or what little of it they had in 10.4).  I've been told  
that a number of Java simulation environments, such as Processing,  
are having difficulty.  I have not tested MASON under Leopard and  
cannot verify that it will run well or not.  But given Leopard's  
serious Java problems, you may wish delaying any upgrade until a  
later version (10.5.1, perhaps).
