Yes, mono on OSX is slower than on linux, but this should not come out of
surprise to anyone,
as linux is our main target. Most of the differences are slight small
performance gaps for things
that haven't been implemented. None of those differences affect mono's
scalability on OSX.

On the other hand, OSX is known for it's kernel slow primitives, so
contended monitors should
be slower, no idea on the scalability of it, thought.
