> Such initialized memory may reside in the wrong cache, on multi-core systems.

I don't know about that.  I think I recall reading that multi-core
systems share L2 cache memory.

I know Delphi used to initialize my data structures when I created
them.  I had to write custom Init and Done procedures for all my
structures since switching to FPC.  No to complain b/c it's a lot
cleaner this way to keep track of Initialization and Finalization of
data associated with each data struct.
