Register allocation is on a comparable level for both versions.
Delphi keeps the "Bar" pointer in a register, while FPC spills it to
the stack. Because Bar is used in most of the most-executed
statements, this has a huge impact.
Correction: Delphi keeps the hidden parent frame pointer parameter in
a register (which is required every time Bar is accessed), while FPC
puts it on the stack. The end result is the same though: 1 extra
memory access every time Bar or any other variable from the parent
procedure is accessed.
