Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is by far the best compiler IMO. Speed is crucial in
chess programming and MSVC will produce faster compiled code over Borland.
Rather the speedup amount is worth it or not; I do not know. I always use MSVC.

p.s. To take advantage of the compiler options for optimized code, you must have
Professional or Enterprise edition, standard does not cut the mustard.
