[fpc-devel] Parser speed

Hi,

If the source code only contains tabs characters, instead of spaces,
does... that means the source code files are a lot smaller. Does that also
result in the compiler parsing those files faster? After all, there is a
lot less characters to parse.

Anybody actually done a speed test on this to see the speed difference?
