The problem on the new MacIntels is Cubase4, because Stienberg changed to newer VST spec, most MacIntel compatible plugs don't work. Also there are no MacIntel versions of some of the bundled plugs, and there is no dither.
Cubase is the most CPU intensive of all Mac DAWs, I also own Logic Pro, SX2, Live6 and Digital Performer.
From my experience I was able to get 60%-40% more instances of instruments and effects using Logic and DP.
My advice is that if you really want to run Cubase4 stay on PC, it's not ready for the Mac. Check out cubase.net for the details.
