Well, in truth there is one minor reason. Ada compilers systems
typically do a lot of the work of "make" as well as of a traditional
compiler. So if you compare an Ada compiler's speed with that of a C
compiler without taking into account the speed of make and the time it
takes you to create all those make rules (or run your makefile maker),
then it isn't really a good comparison.
For our moderately large (1300 file) system, the upfront library
registration with Tucker's favorite front end takes a quite noticable
amount of time on a clean system (well over a minute). But then again,
all our source is on networked ClearCase drives, which significantly
slows down every file access.
