It should not be running slow but you haven't provided enough  
information to help you.

What kind of Mac (including processor and RAM)? How much HD space do  
you have left? Where did you get GRASS? Are you using William  
Kyngesburye's frameworks? What TclTk do you have?

You also might consider using the wxPython interface instead of TclTk.
