Whether you mean clipless or toe clips, I find that the make riding more efficient but not that you would notice the difference in five miles
for me the biggest benefit of either (and I use both) is that my foot is kept positioned on the pedal with no effort on my part, this make a big difference over distance
also you really don't pull up as much as it is easier to push forward
