In fact, I had never heard about it before... When going from Delphi 2 to 5, 6, 7, and Delphi2005, Ikarus' speed did not change at all. No idea about Delphi2006, as we don't have it. If FastMM4 works with Delphi2005, we might give it a try - do you have any clue how much faster executables get on average?! Would it be possible to get 10 or 20 %, i.e. something significant (I couldn't care less about a 3 % increase in speed...)? As for releasing Ikarus, there are no plans at the moment. We do have a UCI version (Muntsin made it sort of for the sake of itself, as there already was a Winboard version, so it was quite easy), but hardly ever use it, as there is no reason to do so for us (nothing to be gained, so to speak). Best regards - Munjong.
