[fpc-pascal] 64 bit ?

[Terry A. Haimann]

I have a desktop with a 64bit AMD x4 Phenom processor.  I have noticed 
that FreePascal programs perform worse on this computer then they do on 
my 32 bit laptop.  Integer performance seems to be about 3 times worse 
then on the laptop.  Now if I convert the pascal source to c and compile 
that as follows:

gcc -O3 -funroll-all-loops -o MyExecutable MySource.c

The performance is many times better then with FreePascal.  I assume 
that gcc is compiling to 64 bit here and generating an optimizing for 
the AMD processor.  Is there a way to do something similar with Free Pascal?

Thanks,    Terry
