At compiling yes, but now lets put the facts another way...

* FPC supports 10x more platforms than Delphi
- Linux, FreeBSD, Haiku, Mac OS X/Darwin, DOS, Win32, Win64, WinCE, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic) and MorphOS

* FPC supports 5x more processors than Delphi
- Intel x86, Amd64/x86_64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, Sparc, ARM

* FPC support double the CPU bit count than Delphi
- 32-bit and 64-bit

* FPC is infinitely cheaper than Delphi

So which compiler is really better? :-)
