It may just be the raw performance. Delphi VCL programs are very fast, because they’re running native non-interpreted right on top of the base windows api.

Delphi itself was also a very speedy IDE, at least back in the borland and codegear days. Can’t speak much to the embarcadero era as that is when I switched fully to web dev.
