Conclusion : It would be good to have a compiler switch that
optimizes for speed.
That is a wrong conclusion. All these programs were compiled for
speed and not for low memory use.

No I mean a new G1 switch who optimizes 30% better at the expensive
of memory usage.
The memory usage may be ten times greater than the G switch.
I think your view is a bit too simplistic. Optimizing code is a
complex task and we are continuusly working on it. Ofcourse patches
to improve the optimizer of the compiler are always welcome. Simply
refering to a couple of, already known, benchmarks will not help to
get things improved. Besides that Free Pascal does a fairly good job
against the other commericially funded compilers.
