My point was that "lot of experience writing Ada", does not
mean you know how to write meaningful benchmarks. This is a
special skill. Just doing the timing correctly is far from
trivial (naive attempts to just read the clock almost always
result in bogus data).

Once again, I definitely recommend that you look at the ACES
quicklook, which has been carefully designed to yield meaningful
results.
