If you have a Pro or Enterprise edition then right click on IntToStr(
then select 'Find Declaration'

It will send you on a right old chase through SysUtils.pas

Doing the same on Str( just opens System.pas
- no source - some sort of compiler magic

Quite interesting

Mostly - I think the speed is down to not creating new strings
- but the FormatBuf code is ... not exactly to the point

It would be handy if Delphi provided some sort of Strings Created
statistic for profiling
.
