I'm still using Borland Turbo C from time to time on my 486 machine and the compilation is so painfully slow even for smaller projects. Typing on the other hand and UI in general is blazingly fast.

Turbo c was slow, Turbo Pascal and later object pascal were (and are) very fast.

Turbo C was an attempt to profit off the reputation of Turbo Pascal.

BTW Borland didn't create the compiler, instead licensed the technology from Poly Data.
