delphi code can be rebuilt for *nix in kylix(not sure how far reaching that is). i dont know about speed, but delphi isn't that much slower than c, depending on how you code and the quality of the components you build with.
delphi builds a lot quicker then c.
i dont see much value in rewriting it all in delphi though, and having to maintain seperate code.
but for admin tools, delphi is great. good db access and a lot of free tools/components are available. blah blah blah blah blah....blah.
