"Negligible" in one program execution maybe. But it makes difference when many executions and many programs take place. Beyond that, this is not a good programming practice. But yes, I am considering this solution (a GUI App). I will have to make some performance tests to see it will be possible. About running Windows, in this case, it is not my choice.

Beyond that the program is up and running. My point here is to port or not from Delphi do Lazarus. I have other applications to consider also. Best regards, Edilson.
