Ok, good to hear.

I just commited change with which there should be only
one SDL_UpdateRects() call for each of the screen updates:
- both for ST/e and Videl screen handling functionality, and
- regardless of whether one uses statusbar or overlay drive LED

I.e. it should fix any remaining OSX "performance" issues.
