Here is an interesting comparison of Delphi vs. various C compilers (http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?AID=RWT071302231228). Delphi comes home slower than both MS and Borland C compilers, but does better against CodeWarrior.
The article states that "a good programmer can wring about the
same performance from a Delphi program", which implies that you have to put more work into a Delphi app to make it run nearly as fast. That is why I mentioned that finding a good algorithm is the major optimising step, not worrying what the compiler is doing.
I also use Delphi extensively - it is my prefered platform on Windows.
