<br>
Where are your test projects located again? I figure
they might make for good timing metrics even if my overhaul is only for
x86_64 currently. If it's successful and the other developers approve, then I can port it to i386 where it counts.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, if you want to test out the changes yourself, everything you need is over at this ticket:<br>
<br>
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34628<br>
<br>
Thanks for your motivation with the bounty (even though I just want to improve the language I love!)<br>

Sounds great. I wish more of our products had 64bit CPUs...
<br>
<br>
What's the speed-up you are seeing on my test project so far?
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
