[fpc-pascal] AnsiStrings and Memory Management

[Matt Emson]

>(astonishing that  ShortStrings are slower than AnsiStrings in this example
in delphi).

Not really. Delphi is silently upcasting your shortstrings to AnsiStrings in
the background. You would probably have to recompile the VCL to get around
this ;-)

Hope that helps,
