Hi, I remember years ago a similar test in a web page. Pascal was way low in the list, even below Java and Python! but we (in a forum) found that it wasn't Pascal fault: most versons program were optimised in code while Pascal used brute force (also compiling using -O3 made it way faster than the web proclaimed so we suspect they used -O- or even worse a relic compiler [Turbo Pascal 1?]). Once fixed it was almost unoticeably behind C in both FPC and Delphi (Delphi result was a bit faster).
Anyway I haven't seen the video yet.
