Here's a taste...

Delphi is fast, very fast
Jesper Hald and others recently did a benchmark of a certain algorithm to figure out, which was fastest. It evolved into a kind of competition to make the fastest algorithm to solve this problem:

Fill a data structure with 1,000,000 random, unsorted values from 0-100 Run through this data structure 200 times, counting a) number of values = 42 b) average for all 1,000,000*200 values

The benchmark was run on a new T5800 Toshiba laptop running 32-bit Windows Vista. Nothing had been done to the Vista to make it faster or behave in a special way.

The results were interesting, and our conclusions were:
