Re: Performance Bottlenecks

It will help. The major problem though to get around for D3 is that
there's no such critter as Int64. D3 is still very Borland Pascal
legacy in that way. D3 does support DWord, but you need the Windows
unit for that to happen (at a huge cost of memory and exec size).

I can always post lists of compiler errors if people are interested in
a "legacy D3" support.
