Thanks to everyone who replied to my question (any further opinions
appreciated as well).

The general consensus of the replies is that Think Pascal code is much
better than anything else, that MPW C was somewhat smaller and faster
than Think C (though someone provided a nice counterexample).

It was also noted that Think is rumored to be planning much greater code
optimizations for their next version.

After reading this, I have a pleading request for the MPW people at Apple:
PLEASE EMPHASIZE CODE OPTIMIZATION IN FUTURE VERSIONS! If I knew that this
was never going to happen, I'd probably switch to Think C right now. I know
that 3.2 is done, but how about working on it for 3.3.
