- Hmmm...Having used Borland's C++ product as well as their pascal
- product, I think I would rather put up with slightly slower compile times
- to get the ability to use .OBJ files, for several reasons. Borland's
- C++ product is not that slow of a compiler, the biggest slowdown comes
- from compiling all of those <.h> files, but you can pre-compile the
- headers (not the greatest solution, but it works). Borland could go a
- similar route with the Pascal units.
-
- I would like to see Borland spend less time worrying about how to make
- their compiler go faster, fix the bugs in their existing products and
- give some attention to generating better quality code (though I
- haven't seen BP7 yet, so I can't comment on the quality of its
- compiled code and optimizations).
