This must be it - the new optimizing Turbo Pascal compiler.. 
I've just spend about an hour running a short routine through 
the debugger and saw something quite interesting:

mov  [bp-3], al
mov  al, [bp-3]

..pretty darn optimized.. I know I'm not the best programmer at 
times, but this is ridiculous for a compiler to generate.. sure, 
if they would support something like C's VOLATILE keyword, but 
this..

  regards,
    joaquim
