I am running the benchmarks on 2.10.5 on the following Mac Pros, and will send my logs when complete. But at the moment, on the Mid 2010 machine, I am seeing roughly 15fps on 20 threads

One is an Early 2009 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16GB of RAM running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
The other is a Mid 2010 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 32GB of RAM running macOS Sierra 10.12.6

We are still figuring it out.

We uninstalled everything dcpomatic related, including several
preferences files. Installed 2.10.5 and tested with a short prores
file, again around 4 fps.
Big Buck Bunny trailer is giving around 7 fps, as showed in the
attached log. The test was run in the internal SSD, nothing else
running, freshly rebooted.

Any help is welcomed! Thnaks!!
