OSX Aqua uses OpenGL extensively for drawing, so it might happen your 3d card doesn't have sufficient memory to draw accellerated with a larger window size. A solution that works well, is switching to less screen colors: set the menu in "System Preferences -> Displays -> colors" at "thousands of colors".

Another common issue is with using the Dock on top of the Blender window. This kind of transparent blending takes a lot of 3d card drawing powers, and can better be avoided by setting the Dock to become auto-hide.

Make lower poly meshes, if that's not possible try closing other windows and try ending unneccesary processes on the task manager
