Delphi2005 is faster.

"...That is a free 20% performance increase by just compiling, great, thank you Danny. (or whoever is else responsable)
Even the executable is smaller with delphi2005; 1.1Mb vs 1.4Mb."

Compared to what version? I've been using Delphi 5 for years for a few reasons:

1) EXE size. AFAIK all versions caused significant increases.

2) Features. Almost all of the new features were of little or no interest to my use (http://www.stgsys.com). It would probably be a little more exciting if I was still in consulting, though.

3) Price. The upgrade to D6 was about 2,5x what I paid for the D4-D5 upgrade.

However, I keep hearing nice things about Delphi 2005...
