It's not any slower than C. In some cases the compiler can actually generate better code because of stricter rules on pointer aliasing. You can also do more with only stack allocation in Ada, which is a huge win.

It does generate some extra code for things like range checks and checking invariants, i.e. things you can skip in C to write buggy code.
