There is normally not so much difference between TeXShop's and 
Textures' performances, in my experience. However there is some 
"incompatibility" between TeXShop and Jaguar (= OS X 10.2), which might 
cause what you report. Have you tried disabling syntax coloring, in 
TeXShop's preferences ? This should make TeXShop much faster. I think 
TeXShop's developers are working to solve this issue.
