Hmm, I can't seem to make a connection, when going to the download page

Will try again later...

Yes, same problem here, since last night! It seems that the new turbos
are getting much attention from the mass as the 3 download ]Robert Kosek[/b]:
Do you have any idea on performance? Did the turbo team do something
about that? I'm interesting in some performance hints! Maybe if they
optimized the apps size, something could have been done for speed too?

I'm dowloading now from delphipraxis

After some hesitation I have opted for delphi for .NET (for win32 I'll go on with delphi 6 PE and lazarus

)

Legolas, Tell us about it when you get into it. I tried BDS with .Net and it was so much different and complicated from normal delphi that i uninstalled it and lost the installation file :?

@FNX: Not sure if there's a performance increase or not, but it is really smooth. The IDE lacks the big bulky elephant-in-a-teashop feel.

The compiled apps so far have been really smooth and no performance hits at all! App size isn't much smaller, maybe a handful of Kb, but it's a slight gain.

When i compiled my latest script language virtual machine version, the filesize increased by 6 kb into 109 kb when using BDS

Didn't feel any significant performance increase but I haven't benchmarked my solution yet

**Robert Kosek** · 06-09-2006, 04:56 PM

Hmm, strange. Perhaps there was yet another filesize increase. I can't really say, although for some reason it seems like the specific app I compiled shrank a bit. Dunno.

Perhaps it's due to J# etc...

Anyhow, we've plenty of diskspace to play with these days! 500gb drive from WD (Sata 3gb) for only $170 USD...

it loads a lot faster then normal BDS 2006, but otherwise its pretty much the same (but its free so im not complaining

)

My executable bloated from 398kb to 472kb, only 84k. Not too bad, but I wonder why. DevCo needs to cut back on the ever expanding bloat of subsequent Delphi versions. I couldn't notice, w/o a timer function on my functions, any performance changes good or bad.

Anyway, the IDE is loads better in any case.
