(e.g., nodes/second) In the case of Crafty, "the various Mac compilers" is an extremely small group, namely exactly one compiler (namely, CodeWarrior). All others I've tried (gcc - both the MacOS and MkLinux versions -, Harvest, Symantec, Motorola, MrC[pp]) either won't run any more since they are years old, will refuse to compile Crafty, or will produce non-working binaries. As far as different versions of CodeWarrior go, pre-DR11 versions don't have 64 bit integer types, so either you have to take DR11 or one of the Pro releases. I only have DR11 and Pro 1, and Pro 1 produces slightly faster code (1-2%) for the same version.
