A paper was presented at a local Apple Consortium Developers conference a
couple of days ago on the efficiency of four Pascal compilers:
MPW, LSP, Turbo & TML.
The authors can be reached via michael@otago.ac.nz (internet address)
but in summary, MPW is the best of a bad bunch (except for string assignments).
AVOID sets if using LSP or TML, the code is horrendous.
None of them are up to things like constant sub-expression elimination and
auto-increment/decrement seems to be an almost unknown address mode.
