Use of "is separate" and compilation efficiency

[tsmith@COMMUNITY-CHEST.MITRE.ORG]

The MITRE Washington Software center is working on a project which is
concerned with the compilation time of some Ada code.  A factor being
considered (as having a possible impact on the required compilation
time) is the use of 'is separates'.

We are looking for input from other software engineers who have made
decisions concerning the Ada 'is separate' capability in the design
and implementation of their code. In particular, we are interested in
learning about any guidelines or established practices, within a
project, that deal with 'is separate' and/or related issues.

Thanks in advance.
