This brings me to my next question (see the fpc-devel mailing list too). If
my source code only contains tab( #09) characters, and not spaces, it
results in a much smaller file size. Does that also translate to FPC being
able to parse that source code faster (less characters to parse), and does
that also translate to the SynEdit component working faster (again, less
characters to process)?

Some form of speed test to compare the difference should be interesting. :-)
