I'm going to buy a new computer on which I will do Matlab development primarily.

I am kind of a happy mac user, but in my experience Matlab runs kind of slow on OS X and I am thus contemplating a switch to something else..

Any thoughts or ideas? Tnx!

Matlab *is* slow. Stick with what you are otherwise happy with.
If you want speed, use something else than matlab.

That was not his question. Its about the difference across the
different platforms.

I was a windows user. Since August, I switched to Mac, I own a macbook
pro. I saw so much information on the internet as to how the same code
on a mac runs 20-100 times slower on a mac than on windows.
However, I ran a test on my code a few weeks back (before I upgraded
to Snow Leopard) on Mac OS X Leopard with 32 bit Matlab 2009a students
version against a windows 64-bit platform and Matlab 2009a students
version windows 64-bit. The run-time was very similar (my Mac was
faster a little bit, but I guess it has something to do with the
hardware configurations).
Over all, I don't see a difference in the execution time between
windows and mac. I hope matlab 2009b should be even more faster, it
also comes with a 64-bit version. My tests are preliminary at the
moment.
I would like to run a piece of code which shows *significant*
difference between windows and mac... if you have got one!

Either case, matlab 2009b should be near to perfect I believe.

Another point of consideration: if you are planning on making MEX files, there are free C/C++/Fortran compilers for Linux (GNU and Intel), but none for Windows (apart from LCC).

Isn't the MSVC Express Edition free?
