[fpc-pascal] Will moving from due core CPU to 6 Core CPU of the same clock speed improve the speed of FPC compiling?

[Vojtěch Čihák]

And the gain will be lost after installing Spectre patches, where is measured performance loss is 1~3%.

 Assuming you only change the CPU, and nothing else...
 
Despite that do the math. It's approx 5% diff. So on 60 seconds compile 
 time you could in theory save a bit over 3 seconds. (But you will 
 probably get less)
