Just finishing a feature film, 100 hours transcoded to DNX115, 3 hours timeline (though I break it down in 40 minutes chunks when I edit), on Mac Pro 2x2.26 with the 8.3.1/10.8.5 combination, and a Nitris DX attached.
It's been rock solid, never skipped a beat. Half way through the edit, upgraded the processor in the Mac to a pair of 6 core 3.46Ghz and a beefy Radeon card and upped the memory to 48gig. It made it even smoother to use, very responsive. Shame MC can't use the extra GPU power - though I seem to understand that it does with 8.4/10.0.x

Performance with 10.8.5 and v8.3.1 is generally OK with the following
conditions:
- no AMA
- waveforms off
- hardware 'happy' (not interrupting)
Even then though, I get symptoms where I hit play, audio plays fine and
video skips and lags. Hit stop, then hit play again, and it's fine. Caching
of files seems to be what's happening to slow things down. Once the app has
'found' all the files in my sequence or viewer, then it catches up and
plays OK. So scrubbing quickly through a timeline is relatively annoying,
since it's a slow caching issue, and caching lots of files is bogging down
