Recently started playing TS3 again..
I actually forgot how absolutely amazing this game is. The gameplay is phenomenal. The only thing I miss from TS4 is the graphics/CAS and some parts of build mode. The graphics for TS3 aren't great...

@dancingindior - Thanks, that's helpful. This must be a MacBook (Pro) or a Mac Mini? And yeah, you're already at 8 GB of RAM so adding more is not likely to impact the game's performance much.
Not really a viable candidate for Bootcamping Windows onto it either as the integrated Intel graphics chip would follow you over to the Windows side holding things back and you don't really have enough total hard drive space to manage two distinct partitions, one for OS X and one for Windows.
So your choices are to work with Bluebellflora's techniques to get the most performance that you can out of TS3 for Mac or, as you already suspected, find a different computer on which to play the Windows version of the game if/when things get too restrictive here.
