Now that it is running awsome and is really fast even when 100 people are online at one time I want to add a particle engine and custom DX stuff to make magic spells and everything sexier.
when it has to do with Windows' programs, C isn't faster than Delphi -- they're nearly even, yet Delphi compiles much faster which is probably the main reason that Stefan likes it

(as a bad example) if you were to compile a very basic Windows API call such as CreateWindow without using Delphi's standard forms.pas, I believe that it would be exactly (or very close to) the same compiled code as if it were done in C ... Delphi's code isn't interpreted by a runtime library as VB's is
