We're trying to decide between Microsoft and Borland compilers
as a standard compiler for building our products. We will use 
both compilers during development - the question is which one 
to use to generate the final .EXE.

Our products (real-time financial market analysis) need to run
for months at a time, collecting data and analysing it at 
high rates. Thus our primary concerns are the stability of the
generated code, and its performance.

Does anybody have any feedback on which compiler produces
more reliable code? And which produces faster code?

(Obviously, both of these compilers are very reliable,
but given that we usually end up finding problems with the
operating system or hardware we would like to minimize problems).

Thanks,
