The main advantage of Logitech Modula-2 version 3.0 is that it produces
optimized object code.  It also contains a smarter linker that can remove
procedures that are never called.  Hence, you will generally get smaller
and faster-running programs from version 3.0, compared to version 2.x.
The speed improvement, in my experience, is 10-20%.  The space improvement
depends a lot on how many library modules you import and how many procedures
from each one you call.
