It could be heating; downclocking itself to avoid overheating. The usual two results of overheating are: 1) Crash of the System but also 2) Auto-downclocking which may produce lower FPS.

I had this problem. I opened my MacBook 2007 and cleaned my fan and after this, I hadn't the problem again.

I doubt the problem is core-related, never had that problem myself, not with a Dualcore MacBook Pro (one with an ATI X1600, one with NVIDIA 9400M and 9600M) nor with an Octocore Mac Pro.
Questions:
- Do you see this drop after 1 hour every time, no matter which map you play or on which server or how many people are connected to the server?
- Did you try disconnecting from the server (when this happens), start your own local server and see how many FPS you get there?
- Do you also only get 30 FPS when standing before and staring at a wall?

time-based points to overheating or a bug such as wasted memory though the latter has minimal probability since it's not common to other players.

I never touched new World Macs (Intel) but I used the forum quite a bit so just a link from me:

My macbook pro manages 125 fps just fine (after enabling the 9600GT card instead of the 9400M DOH!).
I did find that the 9400M cards are a bit more picky about resolution/setting to perform well. Read up in the Mac User Cfg thread.

kk.. I think i know your Problem, 1 Week ago i had 89-92 FPS, Until i have Gone to System Options, if you make "Compress Textures" say Yes then your FPS will go Up much higher, after this result i am now playing with 125 FPS
Funny thing i had 167 FPS (I even have a Screenshot) But that was just a Glitch or Bug..
