The last time (a year or so ago) I played with the compiler code (under 
Windows), I was surprised to find out that AQTime [ 
http://smartbear.com/products/development-tools/performance-profiling/ ] 
didn't support FPC or executables produced by FPC.

So, with this port, you could, for example, use tools such as AQTime or 
similar to see what's happening when you run the compiler executable 
(performance profiling) and that may turn out to help optimize the 
compiler code.
