In case someone's interested, to repeat the input file N=500 times as 
seemingly required by the benchmark, I use the program below.

with Ada.Command_Line;
with Ada.Strings.Unbounded;
with Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Repeat_File is

    use Ada.Command_Line;
    use Ada.Strings.Unbounded;
    use Ada.Text_IO;

    N : Natural;
    U : Unbounded_String;
    C : Character;

begin
    N := Natural'Value (Argument (1));

    while not End_Of_File loop
       Get_Immediate (C);
       Append (U, C);
    end loop;

    for I in 1 .. N loop
       Put (To_String (U));
    end loop;
end;
