I have tried recent svn builds on both a Mac Mini core duo with a 720p
HDTV, and a MacBook Pro on it's LCD, and I don't see the
scaling/performance issues you're seeing.   I don't have a higher
resolution display to test with, so I can't try to duplicate your
issues.

In the appearance settings menu, change the "Qt Style" option to
"Windows", then the menus will look fine.

I'm not seeing this on my MacBook Pro.  I run my mini via remote and
sometimes VNC, and I have not seen this.

How slow is slow?  Mine could be quicker, but it's not bad.  I get a
3-4 second pause when starting playback of an HD program.
