I believe you develop mostly under Windows. Maybe the FPC slowness should
be resolved before Delphi releases a 64-bit compiler?
This cannot be resolved. A 64-Bit compiler has a bigger memory footprint
because FPC uses a lot of pointers and pointers simply double in size on
a 64 bit system.
This is correct, but it is only a part of the story if I am correct.
The i386 version of the compiler is simply much more optimized as the 64-bit
version (as are all FPC-generated binaries).
