How about they improve the compiler.  I scanned an article in MacTutor which
showed that Think Pascal generates better code than Think C.  This ought not
to be.  I love the environment, but I frequently write code that is pushing
the speed of my machine (ray traces, etc) and every saved instruction counts.
