If this is the ObjectAda compiler you are talking about, then it should be noted
that it has no user-settable optimization options (at least not last I checked),
and is really targetted to general Windows developers, not number crunchers. I
think its great for Ada that such a compiler exists, but its not the one to
choose as an Ada representative for number-crunching speed (unless you *want* to
make Ada look bad).
