If you look at CPU secs, then the factor is 3 at most. What helps the C++
programs most is that they use 4 cores more, the fpc programs are mostly

Anyway, the above is an example of what I mentioned earlier (in the quoted text
at the top of this message), since it's of course perfectly possible to also
write multi-threaded versions using FPC.
Not quite, because things have to be part of the language to be able to
use them. GCC programs may use OpenMP since it is implemented using
pragma's which are "part" of the language. FPC would have to implement
the 'parallel for' ideas and friends for them to be used.
