That's false, since people already said that they use it and are happy with it. Honestly, nothing new is being said here and you ignore other people's viewpoints. The majority that have spoken up are against your change. Even Delphi's implementation says that it can change, so relying on its performance is stupid. So the only solution for you is to implement your own (as you've already done) and use it both in Delphi and fpc.
