I was talking about software development/mantainance efficiency
(which was unclear if you didn't get the whole thread).
And you are totally right the difference in run-time efficiency
between Ada and C negligable.  This is a hot button with me,
with some "hardcore" C types who write shit code because they
are too macho and/or ignorant to let the compiler do the
necessary optimizations.
