I get the following values with the code you sent:
fpc: 4.51s  vs  Delphi: 3.05s on Intel Xeon and
fpc: 7.33s  vs  Delphi: 5.17s on Intel Core 2 mobile
so even for your optimized code delphi is more than 40% faster. 
Probably we use different delphi compilers. I got these results using Delphi 7.

thanks a lot for the code, I used these ideas for the original code and it gave me a speedup of 20%.
