in Delphi 2009 Beta: Installation speed much, much improved! on Olaf's thoughts about Delphi, IntraWeb and other dev stuff
You say:

For beta versions we are not allowed to post benchmark results

AFAIK, according to the license you cannot publish any benchmark,neither non beta products.

That policy change with embarcadero? I doubt it.

jimmckeeth That is pretty much boiler plate licensing stuff. I don't remember when Borland dropped the no-nonsense license / book license and switched to this boiler plate annoying license. They must have hired a lawyer who went crazy.

Olaf Monien Well, the disclaimer for us Beta testers explicitly mentions benchmarks
- which is understandable. A beta is a beta and speed may vary.

I remember that the actual Delphi EULA mentions benchmarks as well, but
in that case we would have to discuss what is a benchmark, and what is
an observation. For the setup I would pretty much argue that the setup
run time would be more an observation ;-)
