Well, my experience with the relative speed difference between MPW and Think
was this:

About two years ago, I wrote some code that did a lot of integer number
crunching.  I wrote it in MPW C 2.0. Recently, I ported it to Think C, since
that is the environment I have come to prefer.  The exact same code in
Think C runs at 90% the speed of the MPW code. (I had MPW's optimizers on)

Your milage may vary, but my experience is that MPW C generates faster code.
