Ada has robust multitasking built in, which makes it simpler and more natural to write programs that take advantage of multiple processors. Ada programmers are thus also more likely to be comfortable with writing for multitasking. In another thread here, some Ada versions of a simple word counting benchmark were compared to C versions. But a multitasking Ada version, a simple modification of the straightforward single tasking version, was shown to run about 50% faster on a dual CPU system.
