Here (Mac OS X, GCC 4.6.0 x86_64 experimental), I tried modifying the
Ada code to use the same tasking (threading) structure as the C GNU GCC
#5 version. Result (I only checked with parameter 16):

C:           real 5.1 user 9.0
GNAT (orig): real 6.0 user 5.8
GNAT (mod):  real 5.3 user 9.4

(the 'user' value, which is what time(1) reports, is apparently the
total CPU time, while the 'real' time is the elapsed time; this machine
has 2 cores, both it seems running at about 90% in the test).
