Incomplete sentence: it means comparing *any number of things*, not just
speed, *of the compilers*.

Comparing how many customer can be entered per hour in your product vs
competitor product x has exactly *nothing* to do with becnhmarking Delphi.

Here you are *absolutely* wrong. By this logic, Borland could "repossess"
all products I've ever developed with Delphi - you are claiming they own my
products. That is an *absurd* claim Jake. There is nothing about a license
that inherently gives ownership of *your* works to the licensor. Find one
single authoritative source for such an interpretation!
