Understood. What if your users submit issues that are fundamental to your 
UTF16-decision? For example shortstrings would be more compact and faster. 
I suspect you are not going to change MSEIDE to another approach.

It's the same here. Compiler speed is lower than Delphi due to design 
decisions, that cannot be easily altered. Optimization is always possible, 
but the low hanging fruit is gone, because as said, extensive time has 
already been spent into compiler speed.
