I think you need to be a bit more descriptive than this! What is it doing when it freezes? Does it freeze or slow down? What else have you changed?

Let us know:

Type of Mac?

Operating System?

Previous Civ3 version? (1.16f, 1.17f, or 1.21g)

Total RAM?

When it freezes, does the music keep playing?

The good news is that you're problem is not common, so once its addressed, you'll be fine. The bad news is you're problem is not common, so we don't know enough information yet to help you.

I share your pain! The freezes occur when units are moving (both mine and the computer's) and clear up in a minute or two. Mostly affects the ancient units, particularly swordsmen. The good news is that the problem goes away later in the game. I suspect it has something to do with the sound files. I've got a dual 800 with USB sound.

In general, you should increase the total amount of RAM you have. Mac Civ3 needs 128RAM once its patched to 1.21g or above. Panther also requires 128RAM. If you're trying to multitask while playing Civ3,....unfriendly things could happen.
