Sorry, but I fail to be amazed by what huge piles of money thrown
to a project for 10+ years can achieve. Those kind of
achievements are boring :P
And I think D is doing well in a benchmark like this, I guess
with ldc2 you can go about as fast as C++.
I'm sure that other "small benchmarks" on computational-intensive
code achieved C++ speed in the past, so if we can't get C++-like
speed here, it's either a problem with the code or some serious
performance regression.
