For long-living connections, this might not be the case.  It depends
on several factors.  For example, if there isn't much communication
required between the theads of control handling separate connections,
and each thread of control performs many memory allocations and
deallocations, the separate process implementation is probably faster.

This depends on the OS and Ada implementation.
