It is a matter of buffer size. If the fpc output does not fit into the TProcess
buffer, then fpc has to wait for the IDE to read from the buffer.
It uses the default buffer size. Maybe this can be increased. Find out how and
tell.

Unlikely. Because I have not committed one line of that code.

 It works here. Is this reproducable?
