Sounds like an advertising slogan to me.
And don't forget that, by their nature, bytecode and (to a lesser extent) the JVM are generic, and so may not be able to use all the bells and whistles available to a targeted Mac executable.
I'm not sure about these resource constraints though. Can you tell me where I can check that out?
Well, most OS's have some sort of system monitor where you can check out things like available memory, CPU and disk usage in real time. Not sure what it's called on the Mac, but if you fire it up and then run your game you might be able to see what's going on and whether there are any nasty spikes in any of them.
For more sophisticated stuff you may need to get a proper profiler. Not sure which is best for the Mac, but I'm sure somebody here might know.
