No I didn't do a benchmark, but I think those C++ people are living in the past... Delphi is up to the competition and is just as fast as C++, however if you are going to compare Delphi with C++ keep in mind that C++ uses no VCL components for the form, so thats what you'll have to do in Delphi too, if you are going to compare them!

However I'm confident Delphi is just as fast as C++!
