It should improve your GW2 experience as game will run native on platform it was written on, but I wouldn't expect any serious improvements as game engine isn't handling places crowded by players very well in first place. You can tweak graphic settings, turn off player name plates (those can be bring up at any time by pressing modifying key on keyboard; not sure which one is on Apple keyboards as I haven't played GW2 on these machines in 4 years) to squeeze those frames but there won't be a performance miracle

OSX client is a Windows client + little piece of software called Cider that translates on-the-fly Windows code to be usable on Apple machines. Cider is the fork of Wine
