It remembers me an advertisement: "The G3 processor
is faster than the slowest Pentium II" (ditto!).
Maybe you are right, maybe not.
Did you seriously compare ?
It would be interesting - really. Don't hesitate to
give names (on platform/OS aaaa, C compiler bbbb is faster
than Ada compiler cccc with the test dddd), because your argument:

> simply because more compiler developers can afford
> to invest in them than in optimizing Ada compilers.

is challenged by the fact that some of these compilers
(in the expensive class) do excellent optimisations
surely because the buyers (spatial/military/...?) spend/spent
much money on them....
