> In my experience MTP's speed increase doesn't seem to justify the apparent loss of success at the edge, it would have to be at least 4x faster to meaningfully churn through the first 3 failures in the time it would have taken to do it once without

Speaking in terms of wall clock, the expensive part of decode is fetching the weights from memory. Predicting and validating a bunch of tokens using the already fetched weights is insignificant in comparison. Even if you have a poor acceptance rate for predictions, you won't really see a slowdown vs not using MTP.
