DelphiSpeedUp optimizes your Delphi IDE loads

DelphiSpeedUp is an IDE plugin for Delphi and C++Builder. It improves the IDE’s startup speed and increases the general speed of the whole IDE. This is achieved by replacing some often used RTL functions by FastCode function that are optimized for the used CPU and some other faster implementations. It also employs caches when the IDE loads.

Features:

• Improves Delphi/BCB/BDS’s load times
• Optimizes often used RTL functions by functions form the FastCode project
• All optimizations are done in memory and do not change any file on disk
• Adds a “Close all and kill” menu item to the “File” menu that terminates the IDE very fast
• The fast termination is used when you close the IDE while pressing the CTRL key.
• Shows waiting cursor while loading designtime package
• Optimized the Delphi Compiler’s C RTL
• CodeCompletion and HelpInsight can be aborted by ESC/mouse move

Supported IDEs:

• C++Builder 5, 6
• Delphi 5, 6, 7
• Borland Developer Studio 2005, 2006
• CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 (December Update)

How to install:

• Download the DelphiSpeedUp zip-file
• Extract the zip file to a directory of your choice
• Execute the contained executable InstallDelphiSpeedUpX (where X is your Delphi/BCB version)
• Start Delphi/BCB/BDS and work on your projects

Where is DelphiSpeedUp for Delphi/C++Builder 2009

There is no need for a DelphiSpeedUp for Delphi/C++Builder 2009 yet. The IDE is faster than Delphi 2007 with an installed DelphiSpeedUp. All other features are now part of DDevExtensions.
