have no idea why you have the 30-second delay at the end of the program,
but it would make the execution time of the program exceed 90 seconds."


My apologies.  I accidentially posted the code that I used to test the
accuracy of the delay statement itself, which, as your results showed, is
fairly accurate.
The code should have read:

*********Begin Code*****************

   with Ada.Real_Time; use Ada.Real_Time;
    with Ada.Text_Io;
--      with Ada.Standard;

    procedure TestTime is

       -- ----------------------------------------------------------
       --  GET THE STARTING TIME, LOOP, GET THE END TIME, SUBSTRACT
       -- ----------------------------------------------------------

       Time_Start      : Ada.Real_Time.Time;
       Time_End        : Ada.Real_Time.Time;
       Time_Difference : Ada.Real_Time.Time_Span;
       Time_Duration   : Standard.Duration;

    begin

       Time_Start := Ada.Real_Time.Clock;
       for I in 1..17400 loop
          delay 0.003448275862;
       end loop;
       Time_End := Ada.Real_Time.Clock;
       Time_Difference := Time_End - Time_Start;

        Time_Duration := Ada.Real_Time.To_Duration(Time_Difference);

        Ada.Text_Io.Put("Time Difference: ");
       Ada.Text_Io.Put(Duration'Image(Time_Duration));

       delay 30.0;

    end TestTime;
