The best driver for ML is 1.8, at least on my system.

I have a MacBook Pro 17 unibody 2009 with 8Gb of RAM and Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).

Both, 2.0 and 2.1 drivers, have a high CPU usage (40-50% in some situations) and a "drag&drop sticky" bug that can only be corrected if you put the mac to sleep and wake it up after a system boot.

I don't know why Mac drivers have these problems, the Windows drivers work much better (running Windows XP or 7 natively on bootcamp), they almost have no artifacts and they run much more smoother and with a lower cpu usage.
