While browsing Dr Dobb's, I came across this article on underused switches for the VC++ toolchain. How I wish there were equivalents for Delphi.

(It is one of those articles split into ten different pages, sorry, and the single-page print version is not well organised / readable.)
One day, Delphi will give compiled output comparable in speed to VC++, with an amazing optimizer, vectorization, parallelization, modern instruction sets (and even better compilation for various different instruction sets and the choice of which to use made at runtime) etc, and I will be a very happy person. Some of these are one reason I'm keen to see the entire toolchain on every platform move to LLVM, and I'm very hopeful for the future and that we'll see great performance improvements. If you feel this is important, please feel free to contact Embarcadero and let them know (they do listen.)
I should note that one or two of these exist in some form already, either in the Delphi toolchain or in the C++ toolchain.
