This is due to the Retina iMacs supporting 10-bit color, which most applications do not use or support, and which causes a great deal of extra processing to happen when updating the screen.

This applies to older versions of REAPER as well, they should be significantly faster when not using the iMac color profile...
Confirmed. Whole system is more snappy! Besides REAPER working much better, this is a free system upgrade! I would have never figured out that changing the color profile would have such an impact!
