<<Do you think that the approach of keeping a pool of unused tasks of each
task type for later recycling (as I suggested earlier in this thread,
i.e. 'manual', self-programmed memory management) is still necessary
with modern Ada 95 compilers ?>>

It's a good idea in any case, because that way you avoid the task creation
and destruction overhead, which can be significant in many systems.
