When performance and control are combined, developers have a truly flexible tool at their disposal. Compiled code has a smaller footprint. Moreover, because DLLs are smaller, load time is improved.
Compiled code executes faster.
New optimizing keywords have been added to those already recognized by the compiler. These keywords can be used to ensure applications access the optimizations they need given their target platforms and systems. Further speed enhancements are available through support for Pentium and Pentium Pro operation codes. Compiled executables are more robust. New and improved compiler warnings.
