How to speed up the Delphi IDE

FastMM 4.08 introduces a small .dpr project that allows you to build a replacement borlndmm.dll that you may use to replace the memory manager that the Delphi IDE uses. My Delphi 7 loads about 10% faster and is noticeably more responsive if I copy this replacement DLL over the DLL in the \Bin folder.

Unfortunately there appears to be a bug in Delphi 2005 that prevents this replacement DLL from working under Delphi 2005 (QC#14007), so for now this replacement is only for Delphi 7 and older versions.
