I do notice the slower loading onf the main admin page (maybe 15 seconds on a fast connection). The speed I was referring to was in the publshing of the post directly from ecto, a desktop application, because in WordPress it is just pushing stuff into the database, as compared to MovableType which has to publish to thew database as well as re-publish several static pages. Sorry, I have no answer, and am thankful for my smooth progress so far. I am hardly a WP expert to give an answer J.K.

Not such a breeze for me for the only converter is from pMachine 2.3 to WP 1.2 and it seems a little problematic. Also, posting in WP crawls for ages until I commented out the lines starting "$rss = @fetch_rss(..." in wp-admin/index.php, as suggested by a post in the WP support forum.

It's nice not having to wait for 100 files to be updated for every post. It's even nicer when you start tweaking the theme - no Really Long Rebuilds for each minor tweak. Much nicer for smaller iterative changes. Glad you're enjoying WordPress! I know I've been jumping around through the various blogging software (Blosxom --> MT --> Blosxom --> WordPress, with some dabbling with Drupal), but I really can't imagine leaving WP for my personal blog. It's not perfect, but it is so much nicer than any of the alternatives (especially with comment/trackback spam management). Yeah.
