Turbo Pascal Version 6 Questions

Can anybody tell me what this version is like so I can decide whether 
I want to buy this upgrade?

In particular, I'm interested in whether it still compiles at the 
phenomenal speed like the 27,000 lines/minute that was claimed for 
version 4.

I'd also like some idea of how big the main compiler executable file 
is--and what functions are contained in it.

I.e., I'm a little leery after hearing that Turbo C++ compiles much 
more slowly and I'd like to know what I'm getting before doing so.

p.s.: I have an 8MHZ XT clone with hard disk.
