  Yes.

It means it gains the usual Ada benefits, and it usually means it's at a
higher abstraction level, but the additional overhead is usually swamped
by the time spent inside Windows (or whatever) system calls.  Most of a
Windows binding is to IO - especially human speed GUI IO - which is slow
anyway.
