Olaf,

The reason that Delphi compiles so quickly is due to the struture of the
language and not the quality of the optimization.  Best estimates show that
Delphi is +/- 20% of the speed of VC (see www.optimalcode.com).  Yes for some
integer manipulations it is faster than VC.  See also Jakes programming
challenge where Delphi quite often beats VC.

It's easy to blame the compiler - usually the problem have more to do with
structure of the program.
