My experience with Delphi-based Windows software is that they always load quickly and and most things are snappy, in contrast to most modern programs. I've always wondered if it's due the language itself, but then again modern programs run in managed environment. I guess if the same program is created using MFC they would be just as fast. Maybe if you don't have to deal with accessibility or internationalization it's possible to create such binaries in any compiled unmanaged language.
