This is kind of what I meant, I just put it in much simpler terms. Sorry if my earlier statement caused offence. > Nevertheless contest the idea that FPC is a slow compiler, I have put a I never said FPC is slow, just that it is "slower" than Kylix and Delphi - but I also tried to explained why it is slower. I do know and acknoledge that FPC is MUCH faster than many other language compilers out there. A testament to the great work you guys hove done.
