Until they fix the garbage collection issues, don't. It's slower than it should be on Mavericks, but it's REALLY slow on Yosemite. You'll spend more time looking at a beachball than actually working on your games. Fix is in progress, though, so hopefully this will change soon!
It is straight up not optimized for Yosemite, but hey, there is a slew of apps out there that are not running tip-top at the moment. Not as perky, but it works.

I'm still on Mavericks too. Waiting for a proper fix before updating.

I'm on the newest version of yosemite and game salad runs like a charm!.
though maybe thats because i had 16gb ram, I'm not to sure.
@CodeMonster - You're very lucky then! Also running Yosemite, 13.7, 16gb RAM - was barely getting 2 minutes out of it before it was unusable before I found my cache trick, now back to getting ~10 minutes. Really looking forward to a properly fixed version though!

What's the cache trick?
Yosemite is working for me. But I have to quit and restart GS for slow performance from time to time. (Mac 24 GB of RAM)
