And all of those recommendations were applied by Jon Foster and yielded 
only a 0.6% increase in speed.

"I ended up with an hour of extra time so I went over Jonas' suggestions 
again. I made tweaks fixing integer types, using trunc() instead of 
round, ... The over all  improvement is only +0.6%, as I predicted 
nowhere near the 10x+ needed to compete with the other languages."

So the major speed problem still seems to be the FPC optimisation with 
looping and not using SSEx when it is available.

I personally haven't tested with the latest FPC 3.1.1 yet.
