A friend of mine made a bench mark between Beagle Compiler (ProDOS) and
TASC from MicroSoft (Dos 3.3). The result was that the programs compiled
with Beagle Compiler run about 1.5 to 5 times faster then the programs
compiled by TASC. In one special case, it was 10 times faster. However,
using the Beagle Compiler does not show improvemet of speed on math 
functions such as TAN, SIN, etc

One more option to consider is that Beagle Compiler supports both Apple
slot memory or AE auxiliar memory. Best of all, the Beagle Compiler 
compile your basic program in memory in few seconds! I don't remember
if Beagle Compiler is listed in Beagle's oldies which are free to 
download from Pro-Beagle, but if so, then I think it is the best choice
for you to consider.
