PointAugust 1st 2009
We are happy to say we have successfully built a new set of benchmark utilities for testing the Free Pascal Compiler binaires across each operating system. We have also started posting our findings in the research section (Optimized Programming), were we disclose techniques that new programmers have never been taught, along with results of random experiments.

By early September we will start evaluating theories like, when is it better to use an SQL server versus your own homegrown database server (a.k.a internal database connectivity). We also plan on researching the differences between direct database calls versus using the TDataSet structure Borland introduced in 1995 (that people still use to this date).

Lastly, please sign-up in the message area for your personal account, and give us feedback.

Your Webmaster,
G.E. Ozz Nixon Jr.
