Smaller than FPC ? That shouldn't differ too much, I think.
Delphi's optimizer is superior to FPC currently. Delphi has another 10 - 15
years and paid developers on top of FPC, so this can be expected, I guess.
And the compiler is just sooo fast.
The FPC _compiler_ is just as fast.
The linking stage is the problem; It's currently being worked on.
You could make the FPC compiler even faster by not letting it release
memory, as delphi does... Just compile & debug several times in Delphi:
Memory usage goes up with each compile...
