No, there is no one who can tell you this, because it simply
is not true. In most implementations of Ada, generics are done
by inline expansion, so there is absolutely NO time efficiency
penalty for making a procedure generic, none at all!
So you are really asking another question entirely, which is
something like
why is generic procedure BLA slower than non-generic procedure
JUNK.
We need to know BLA and JUNK to answer this :-)
