Some of the tests place sysutils in the uses clause but in fact it is not needed in the uses clause for some programs to work. Removing it from the uses clause where not needed would improve the memory footprint of the program, since sysutils hauls in initialization for things like widestrings and etc.

i.e. this program here does not need sysutils at all, according to when I compile it: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=fannkuch&lang=fpascal

We welcome more elegant and/or faster programs.

To contribute please attach a complete source code file to a tracker item following the FAQ instructions:

I think Ales Katona submitted already a lot of improved programs and it was ignored.

Ales Katona contributed many improved programs during May, June and August 2005. His contributions have not been ignored!

Please do not spread mis-information - simply looking at the Free Pascal pages would show you his programs!

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=fpascal&lang2=fpascal http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/sandbox/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=fpascal&lang2=fpascal

As I said, benchmarks have been deprecated and replaced by new benchmarks, which only have programs written by Free Pascal newbies.

best wishes, Isaac
