I thought that VC++ used the Intel
compiler, maybe badged Microsoft. But
I could be completely wrong.

I had heard that the Intel compiler
was massively fast compared to other
C++ compilers of the x86 architecture
(as long as you are using a genuine
Intel chip).

But I am really amazed at the speed
of the Borland compiler. And I like
the IDE much more than messing with
message maps and so on.
