  Syiek, David. 1995. "C vs. Ada: Arguing Performance Religion",
  ACM Ada Letters, Nov/Dec 1995, pp. 67-69.
  This paper demonstrates that Ada and C programs run at about
  the same speed using compilers of approximately equal maturity,
  with Ada having a slight performance edge because the Ada
  compiler has more information to work with.
