Thanks a lot :) Did you see my note that a good benchmark had to be done on the real application ? I pretty well know that a stupid benchmark like this means nothing. But well, you did (I think it was you, sorry if not) use this argument by bindly say that Ada was slow. This just because an unknown web site with very bad code (at least for the Ada part) was showing that Ada was lot slower! At least I have showed that a decent Ada implementation (very close to the C++ one) is running at the same speed. But I have not hours to spend to provide all the data as described in your post.
