Well i went to openbve.org, downloaded the zip and the stand alone program for mac. Then i put the stand alone program in the folder and created to other folders (Railway, Train, Object, Route, Sound) and then just downloaded the routes and dependences

In my opinion, the Mac version has much less lag than the Windows version. The (F)(B)(Q) run very smoothly on my Mac, and I am not even going to attempt downloading it onto my Windows.

True that, i can run all the high quality routes super smoothly on my mac (And the R46) Windows makes it lag sooo much. Once you go mac you never go back  ;)

The (F)(B)(D)(N)(Q) i can all run smoothly

The only issue with Macs is that most plugins aren't compatible. Hopefully someone can code a cross-OS plugin for rollsigns/beacons etc.

Is it really the software? Are you sure it is not a difference in the hardware?

Yep. The .dll file as an app extension "plugin" is unique to Windows. I do not know of a Mac equivalent
