To hopefully offer some explanation for Mr. Santos - if I can compile
and run the program 5 times over the course of 20 minutes, that is
certainly better than running it and testing it once over the same
amount of time, no?

It might be hard to imagine FPC taking that much longer than it does
currently but ~30min for a large program is the standard with other
compilers. I very much enjoy the speed of FPC.
