Borland, Watcom and MSVC are faster than MinGW. I do not have any hard facts.
I took this quite personally.
So, I took eu 4.0 and ported it to compile under MinGW (with as high a level of optimization as I know how to do). The result: allsorts.ex claims equal speed for MinGW exu.exe vs OpenWatcom exw.exe (in some cases, OpenWatcom is faster by a few hundreths of a second. In other cases, MinGW is faster by a few hundreths of a second).
Now, about using standard C. We cannot due to the C calling interface.

Not true. There is a generic C calling interface that doesn't require any assembly language at all. (It is not used because it has limitations compared to the normal C calling interface that we use, but it is possible. peu had it.)
