Please consider attached change to Info.plist:

Symptom: When using a tool that constantly updates the message in the status bar (shape tools, pen tool, select tool when transforming), the updates on-canvas are delayed until mouse movement stops (i.e. no more updates of messages to the notification area). This causes a visible lag when e.g. rotating or stretch an object, or drawing a new path with the pen (bézier) tool.

Proposed fix: Not sure if it is a proper solution (Apple describes it as "A last resort"), but after disabling coalesced updates as described in 'Technical Note TN2133' [1] the lag of redraws on-canvas described above no longer occurs (tested with r10124 on OS X 10.5.8 (i386), gtk2 @2.24.3_0+no_x11+quartz).

Please review and test.
