Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 Lucky me, I bought Space Quest 6 Mac German a few weeks ago.
 That game should maybe have the same issues like yours.
 I haven't had time to look into it. Not even sure if I can read a Mac-CD
 using a regular Windows PC.

 There may be performance issues even inside ScummVM. I remember there
 being a really weird performance issue with some SCI games, and in the end
 it was the dir() command, and LordHoto added a cache to it, which in turn
 caused other issues, like you not being able to modify directories anymore
 without restarting ScummVM. But that solved the performance.

 I think it was some SCI game that queried a file 1000 times a second or
 some other nonsense like that.
