I know Delphi is fast, but that is very fast. We have already had a
discussion why Delphi could be so fast, so we will not go into that
again. Just the highlights: Delphi is only for one platform, the code
could be optimized like crazy because it is only for one architecture,
only x86 ASM is needed pascal code etc...

FPC has many other requirements like maintainability and cross-platform
etc, which all causes it to take a slight speed penalty.

Either way: FPC + very large complex code base = a nice deserved
coffee brake. :)
