Takes near 12 - 15 seconds to transverse the 150mm X axis, same for the Y axis.  Loaded a small STL file and set it to print.  A snail can move quicker, and although it seemed to go through the motions, it didn't extrude a drop! 
Quit it all, plugged the SD back into Win 7 with Repetier 8 and printed the test file at normal speed. 
Just spent an exorbitant amount of $ on this Mac, and would really like the Mac & SD see eye to eye.....

Any help would be appreciated....

Thanx
