I was testing this about a year ago an MSVC++ produced about %20 faster
executables. Almost all compilers produce faster code than Borland!
Well ... I've tested Symantec, Watcom, MSVC++ ... I don't know about
IBM VisualAge, however I bet it is faster. Don't know about Intels own
compiler, but this one might produce the fastest code of them all.
I use to like Borland ... long time ago .. :))
