My email got rejected when I tried to get bugzilla account manually. Anyway this is confirmed not a bug just instantiating with : package R_A is new Ada.Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays (Float); use R_A; makes code run comparable to coding multiplication by hand (and GCC C code). It's just run time library isn't compiled with aggressive optimizations (-O3 -march=skylake for x86_64 or -O3 -mavx2 for i686).
