"Indeed, a clean build of DMD itself (about 170’000 lines of D

...what!? DMD takes me... (compiling) ... 1 minute 40 seconds
to build! And because DMD does all-files-at-once compilation,
rather than separate compilation for each source file, whenever
you change just one line in one file, you incur that entire
build time, every time, because it can't just rebuild the one
source file that changed. You also can't do multi-processor
builds with all-in-one build strategies.
4 seconds? That's just untrue. D is actually kinda slow these
days... In my experience it's slower than modern C++ compilers
by quite a lot.
It sounds like you're not using "a rather average developer
machine" then, as there's no way DMD should be that slow to build
on a core i5 or better:
