I think efficiency is a poor reason to avoid a simple solution, at least until
you have tried it and found it doesn't meet your timing requirements.

However, it sounds as if, for your case, the simplest solution might be to hide
the array in a package and provide Put and Get operations, with Put writing the
new value to disk using Ada.Direct_IO.
