Using Gnat 3.15p my Windows 2000 3.0GHz machine with an older disk
wrote 10K 700 character lines in 0.14 sec. It read them back, doing
Ada.Strings.Fixed.Index for "b" (which they did not contain) in 1.5
seconds. That should translate to 1650 seconds or 27.5 minutes to do a
read+scan+write on 10M such lines.
Skipping the IO and just doing the scan 10K times took 0.4 seconds.
Replacing the Ada.Strings.Fixed.Index with a loop searching for
'b' took 0.02 seconds.
So, if your program takes 5 hours something seriously unpleasant
is going on.
