> I do currently see some mysterious performance differences between Mac and Windows though, not sure what's up with that (e.g. my mid-2014 MBP with a 2.8 GHz i5 is giving better performance than the 3.5 GHz i7-4770K in my work PC).

It's worth checking the single thread performance of both your CPU models (see www.cpubenchmark.net), sometimes the higher end models actually have slower single thread performance.
