FPC db units do not compile with Delphi/Kylix, in MSEgui I use FPC db units -> 
MSEide with db support can only be compiled with FPC.

I think also.

Delphi7/Kylix smart linked units FPC 2.0.2 not smart linked units.
My systems crash if I try to build smart linked units with FPC 2.0.2.

About factor 5..10.
No problem if you don't need to recompile the hole project in 
code-compile-run-debug-code cycle.
Compiling and starting of application in MSEide after modifying a form is 
about 2..3 seconds on a Linux AMD XP 3000+, 1GB ram system and FPC 2.0.3.
I have some units in MSEide which let the compiler crash without -B option.

It is not possible to debug projects in MSEide which are compiled with Delphi, 
with Kylix it is eventual possible because of stabs debuginfo (I never tried 
it).
