  Could folks who've had this happen, or the other way, please give us
some counts on the frequency of such occurrences?  I must admit I
suspect there are many more cases where a tiny program 'recoded from C
to Ada in a casual manner' is slower in Ada than the opposite.  But
perhaps those are just the ones I remember.

  But it would be nice if they weren't handed an excuse easily.
