Somewhere in the web, in the past, I found something compiler directives
{$... } that i should delete in the final compilation of my program to
make the .exe smaller and my program faster.

The problem is that i don't remember what do i have to do.


You have announced earlier that you are a newbie. In that case: stay away
from compiler directives.
Limit yourself to what is available under Project - Options, compiler and
linker tabs.
For speed you can turn off range checking and overflow checking. The
difference in speed may not be noticeable and you may pay a prize in missing
a bug that shows up in rare cases only.
For size make sure that the linker options do not specify TD32 or remote
debug info.
