This is your problem: ati 4870 512mb
Resolve needs a much more powerful GPU for image processing. Resolve is not and NLE and so can't really be compared to one when it comes to performance. Resolve works in 32bit float, it takes your footage an converts it on the fly and then applies any colour corrections you might add. To do this is needs a lot of processing power.
In the MacPro4.1 I would pull that card out and replace it with a GeForce GTX680.
Have a read of the Resolve config guide for a better idea of what hardware is needed.
