The current Mac code for SDL_Delay() yields the CPU to other processes in a loop until the requisite ticks have passed. It appears that OS X either takes this as advisory and doesn't yield if there isn't something explicitly waiting for the CPU, or these system APIs have become no-ops for binary compatibility in Carbon.

We should ifdef these to only be used on OS 9, and have Mac OS X use the POSIX versions, which will put the process to sleep for X ticks.

Invalid: Mac OS X uses the POSIX codepath, not the "macos" one, which is for OS 9.
