AFAIK the Delphi IDE comes with an built-in compiler. This may change 
with the announced 64-bit/cross compiler, and may be the reason for the 
long release delay of that new feature.

BTW, when the compiler has to read and write disk files, a separate 
thread will not speed up much. Then the compiler thread will be idle 
much time, waiting for disk I/O, and the main thread will be idle, 
waiting for the compiler. IMO.
