Browsing the files it seems that the full Windows version of DAO is included in the Mac version, and it is just executed using Cider. I don't have Windows machine to test it on, but if some of you own a Windows machine and the Mac version of DAO, try if it works in Windows. You can find the Windows version of DAO from Applications/Dragon Age/DragonAgeOrigins.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files and under that is Dragon Age folder. So copy that folder to Windows and then under Dragon Age folder is bin_ship folder which includes daorigins.exe. If any one tries that, let us know.
Also the UK version of Digital Deluxe does include the 3 in-game items (helm, book, staff), even though D2D doesn't list them on the page.
Though the UK version isn't really "UK version". Transgaming obviously only ported the US version of DAO, which means that it only has English language (en_US instead of en_GB), and the keyboard layout problem (can't type @-sign) is because of that too, I think.

What happens if you play the game, and after it slows down you close it and immediately start it again? Will it still be running slow, or start running slower quicker than if you had waited longer before starting the game again? Also does your MBP's fans go full speed?
Because that kind of "slows down after a while" sounds a lot like memory leak. When you close the application, all the memory it reserved will be released. So if it's related to overheating, starting the game right after closing it should mean that the game continues to run slow (though the fans will manage to cool the machine a bit, so it might take a while to warm up again). But if it's memory leak, it doesn't matter wheter you wait 5 mins or 1 hour before starting it again, the game will start slowing down after memory is full.
