I have been using the TDI Modula2 for several months now and I think it is
very nice.  It seems to be somewhere between Lattice 3.03 and Manx in both 
compilation and execution speed.  I have never done any benchmarks so this
is all subjective.  Also, I just got my order form for version 3.0 which
they claim is 33% faster and smaller than the last version.
