I'm curious: did my implementation circumvent safety features? The only thing I can think of is the Unchecked_Deallocation, but that doesn't really affect execution time. I put it in there mainly because I thought there might be a memory issue (there had already been comments about some versions having a much larger memory footprint than others).
At this point you can probably tell I haven't quite grokked Ada yet.
