Attached in the first post. Here is my console output for compiling and running that test program. -----------------[ FPC under linux ]----------------------- [random_test]$ fpc speedtest.pas Free Pascal Compiler version 2.5.1 [2011/09/20] for x86_64 Copyright (c) 1993-2011 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Linux for x86-64 Compiling speedtest.pas Linking speedtest /usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T? 71 lines compiled, 0.6 sec [random_test]$ ./speedtest Length(psData) = 200401 ByteValue: 171 Length(Source) = 200401 First Loop.... elapsed time: 11250 ---------------------------------------------------------------- And here is the output under Windows with Delphi 7 Enterprise --------------------[ Delphi 7 ]------------------------------- Y:\tests\random_test>dcc32 speedtest.pas Borland Delphi Version 15.0 Copyright (c) 1983,2002 Borland Software Corporation speedtest.pas(72) 73 lines, 0.11 seconds, 72504 bytes code, 3593 bytes data. Y:\tests\random_test>speedtest.exe Length(psData) = 200401 ByteValue: 209 Length(Source) = 200401 First Loop.... elapsed time: 11 ----------------------------------------------------------------- So 11250 (FPC) divided by 11 (Delphi) = 1022 times slower... even worse than before! FPC 2.5.1 is from the 'fixes_2_6' branch at r18090. My system has a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU @ 2.66GHz with 4GB memory running Ubuntu 10.04.3 (64-bit). Windows is running under VirtualBox 4, and is Win2000 with SP4 installed and hardware virtualization enabled. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
