Mixing Ada and c

[Mike <michael_tabak@yahoo.com>]

I have a c main program which does socket communications and calls and
ada program which generates the data to be sent over the wire. What
I've noticed is that the ada portion of the program runs almost twice
as slow when linked with the c main  than when run in stand alone with
an ada driver. Is there a general reason that ada code in general runs
more slowly when linked with and called by a c program?

Thanks in advance
Mike
