That 9400M is simply too weak to handle Ultra-Mode options.
Start by only turning on Shadows halfway, and turning off all the other Ultra Mode options (water effects, reflections, ambient occlusion), and turn off FSAA as well.
After that you can experiment with Water Effects and Reflections. Do not turn on FSAA or Ambient Occlusion.

The #1 option for increasing COH performance on a Mac for me has been to turn off geometry buffers. I use standard mid range ultra mode settings, with the only change being disabling geometry buffers under advanced settings. COH runs great on a 2010 13" Air with 2.13GHZ C2D, 4GB RAM, and NVIDIA 320m running 10.6.8. I haven't upgraded to Lion yet.

This helped me a great deal. Before I was lagging really badly in SG bases, RWZ base, Arachnos base maps, and in any new map that came out with Going Rogue, specifically the sewers/subway station, labs, and warehouse. Once I fixed the geometry buffers, I'm able to go in all of these places with no problem except the Going Rogue maps. Any idea how to fix the lag in there?

Still crash only mainly in RWZ arachnos labs and occasionally if there's a laggy spot (near markets, AE) and Bases. And I have everything at min settings >_>
I do try the /unloadgfx command and helps a little bit.

Something for ppl to use Don't use the absolutely minimum settings, you lose a lot of the hardware graphics acceleration, and it actually uses *more* memory that way.

I found one other thing helps a bit (not enough by itself but it does help) in terms of in-game performance:
Turn off ALL buff icons. Pet, team and self. ALL of them. Made a noticeable (but small) difference in addition to the graphics settings.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
