ChocoFlop is based on Apple’s CoreImage, which uses the power of the GPU (ie. your graphics card). An iMac or a MacBook Pro will therefore be much faster than a mac mini or a macbook. Sadly, Intel’s integrated chipset (in mac minis and non-pro macbooks) is really a terrible GPU. Short said: if 3D games are slow on your mac, ChocoFlop will be too, since they rely on the same technology. If you own a mac with an upgradeable graphics card you will see a great difference between pluging in a cheap and a powerful graphics card.
