One thing I have been considering is to promote fields and global
variables to local registers to reduce memory accesses. However, it
would make multi-threaded code a bit trickier to write and demand the
use of the "volatile" intrinsic on things like the conditions of while
loops.
Before I start anything though, I need to put together a schedule or a
to-do list to work out what to play with first. A lot of the time, I go
by my whims and think "I fancy playing with the Free Pascal Compiler
today" or I see something and think 'I could improve that' -
unfortunately it's led me to mix fixes and changes into the same patch,
which has been problematic before, so I'm trying to be more disciplined
about it.

Hi Gareth,
there are more optimizations to look at
An user could write custom string enumerators to replace such
assignments in loops and try to manually solve that issue.
But then

the enumerators are stored in memory rather than registers, so it is
always slower than a normal loop
Or since you like case; a case of strings should use a hashmap or
something rather than doing one by one comparisons
Cheers,
