I don't find clips and straps in any noticeable way "inefficient"; for me, the difference is comfort and ease of entry. The only time I find clipless more efficient is when I am grinding a 70" fixed gear up a hugely steep hill, when a firm, clipless retention allows me to yank up with the trailing foot for additional torque.
