Performance issue: Thanks to a MS Windows update a display driver was 
replaced. Updating to the manufacturer's latest version solved the slow 
compiling/linking process. Curiously enough, the wrong driver interfered 
with starting applications, each application activation taking 2s.

Gprbuild crashes: apparently the result of generating a unit test suite, 
a line was added to the original .gpr file. In the package Compiler this 
line was added:

          for Driver ("ada") use "";

commenting this line solved the problem. I don't know if this is a bug, 
either the adding of the line, or the crashing of the compiler (GPL 
versions 2015,2016 and 2017), or both.

Regards,

Rob
