With runtime packages there is sometimes an extra indirect jump involved
when calling procedures and functions in another package, but the overall
impact should be minimal. I don't think you'll notice any difference.

Just note that by default the replacement borlndmm.dll is compiled with the
AssumeMultiThreaded option set - as a safety precaution. If your entire
application is single-threaded you can disable this define and memory
manager operations will be somewhat faster.

Pierre
