I believe that Mac apps already have some processor-specific optimizations enabled, you can ask Dotsch about it, he built the Mac versions of wrapper and enigma.

Anyway, source code is available, so you can try to build your own executable. All you need is a single executable file - standalone version of Stefan Krah's enigma suite, the wrapper doesn't affect the computation speed.

Can someone please confirm that the intel app is using at least SSE2? Also, will it run in 64 bit mode on Leopard+Core2?

Enigma and the wrapper show up as 32-bit Intel processes on my Penryn 2.4 C2D Macbook Pro. Interestingly, the only 64-bit process shown in the Activity Manager is BOINC itself.
