The second is probably faster (with optimizations enabled), because each call to writeln incurs overhead of locking/unlocking the file stream (which is stdout in this case).

If you need to print huge amounts of data, use lockingTextWriter like this:

auto w = stdout.lockingTextWriter;
foreach (i; 0 .. 5) {
   w.put("sometext\n");
   w.formattedwrite("%d\n", some_number);
}

However, std.format.formattedWrite is also relatively slow, so it's better to prepare string representation of an object in a buffer on the stack - say, with snprintf, or your own set of formatting functions - and then put it into the writer.

Dear,

little question when writing to a file 5 "hello" lines (by example)
I would like to know if they are a difference between:

writeln( "hello" ); x5

and:

string[] helloList = [ "hello","hello","hello","hello","hello"];
writeln( helloList.join( newline) );


I mean if one way is more efficient by speed?

and if is not stdout but File ?

thanks a lot that is really interesting

I only replace write by put and do this:
auto output = File( f.absolutePath().expandTilde(), "w" ).lockingTextWriter();


that build without get an error but at runtime i got:
std.exception.ErrnoException@/env/export/nfs2/cns_prog/opt/gdc/include/d/4.7.2/std/stdio.d(1267): (Bad file descriptor)
