I am not sure whether the issue is the form of LyX or some program on 
your machine that interferes with LyX. Did you try running with activity 
monitor to see whether another process eats CPU cycles at the time where 
LyX is sluggish?

Otherwise, to diagnose this you would need to
1/ get a binary with debug information from stephan (I do not know how 
easy it is for him)
2/ install xcode (I do not know how easy it is for you)
3/ run LyX together with the profiler "Instruments"
4/ send the output back to the list.

Another solution is to export your file(s) to an ancient LyX format and 
use this ancient version that is presumably faster, if this is your wish.
