Hi,

I have changed the FastMM4 that it seemd to work with fpc now. Here are 
the results of my prior tests now with FastMM4 for fpc:

Test1:
  fpc (standard MM):  3.1 sec - factor = 1.34
  fpc (FastMM4):  3.0 sec - factor = 1.30
  delphi (standard MM): 3.1 sec - factor = 1.34
  delphi (FastMM4): 2.3 sec - factor = 1

Test2:
  fpc (standard MM): 2.8  sec - factor =  1.47  
  fpc (FastMM4):  2.2 sec - factor = 1.15
  delphi (standard MM): 2.9 sec - factor = 1.52
  delphi (FastMM4): 1.9 sec - factor = 1

Test3:
  fpc (standard MM):  2.5 sec - factor = 1,19
  fpc (FastMM4):  2.1 sec - factor = 1
  delphi (standard MM): 3.4 sec - factor = 1.61
  delphi (FastMM4): 2.1 sec - factor = 1

As you can see the benefits are not as big as compared to the standard 
Delphi MM, but it is still slightly better than the standard MM in fpc 
(and it reports memory leeks). I have not yet tested all of its features 
but it seems to work so far.
