Hi everyone,

I need some help with regards to Ada bindings to X windows.  We have an 
application that needs to do updates often.  I can't say exactly how often.
I have access to the Ada W3 server and have seen the info there.
My question is this, has anyone done any performance studies comparing
Ada and non-Ada implementations?  Is there a linear curve for updating
a given screen at 1 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz?

Put another way, I'm asking if anyone knows, supported by data, whether or
not Ada implementations can compete in real-time uses of X.  No other solutions
are not an option.  No I didn't pick X.  Yes, I hope and expect that Ada can
compete - just need some data to back this up.

To any vendors, please do NOT call, write, email or otherwise.  I'm not
interested in marketing, I need hard data.

To everyone else,  thanks for any input (if any).

PS. My turnaround time for this is short - the decision will be made the first
week in January.
