Perhaps not very relevant, but C compilers seem extremely slow, Turbo
Pascal compiles in a fraction of the time - perhaps C produces faster
executables, but Turbo Pascal is MUCH!! faster to use. As with old
versions of Turbo C, you can download Turbo Pascal as well!.

BTW - I'm a Pascal/Delphi user :-).
