Hi,
Recently I read somewhere that languages such as Java optimize better when you write your code in specific convention.
Is that also apply for FPC and/or other Pascal compilers as well ?

As compilers cannot be perfect, there will always be situations that reordering your code will result in better performance. For FPC, it helps for example to keep your procedures short. You can also try to write code that will trigger FPC's esp as frame pointer optimizations etc.
