Ever since Retribution, I've been plagued with this freezing problem and have tried all kinds of workarounds. I, too, was heavily swayed by the networking theories in this thread, but no matter what I tried I still got that f'n hang. I've really found no rhyme or reason for it. I thought it was related to the UI (i.e. right after a click, a menu selection, etc.), but I've had it happen in the middle of an RvB fleet fight!
I also thought it might be related to how busy the system was, but I participated in the 30,000 ship FFA in RvB and hit the problem twice (which is very good for the 6+ hours I was involved).
So, last week, I started from scratch and noted my steps very carefully. It occurred to me that one thing I did not try was to leave UI-scaling off. (I have been using UI-scaling since it became available).
I've been playing for eight days with UI-scaling turned off and I've only hit the problem once (I'm not sure it was the same problem either -- I was AFK for 30+ minutes and came back to the hang accompanied by a sound-loop that is typical of the hang).
Anyway, I wanted to pass this on to the other Mac users out there, in hopes that it can help.
If it does help, it might be a useful clue for CCP.

Hey guys
I'm new to EVE and I've been experiencing the same problem, but I agree that there seems to be some kind of connection with the UI scaling. I tried going with UI scaling 90% but nothing changed so I assumed that applying 110% UI scaling wouldn't change a thing so I continued to probe around. But after a lot of researching and confusion I decided to try UI scaling 110% and it worked. I haven't had a crash in about two days now, I used to have them about every 5 minutes so it's a great improvement.
Although scaling the UI to 110% seems to work around the problem for the moment there seems to be some interference with the EVE client regarding torrent clients, thus I am just trying other applications just to see if there's more applications than just torrent clients which interferes. As of now I haven't found anything that interferes, I've tried some standard applications one might have installed (Safari, Skype, Twitter). But finding interfering applications can take a lot of time so I can't say anything for certain after just a couple of days :P
I hope this helped anyone experiencing the same problems :)
