Anything involving taking a lot of substrings is likely to be
faster in D thanks to slices (which is one of the main reasons
that Tango's xml parser is so lightning fast).
I think he referred to the DMD backend being faster than
GDC/LDC sometimes, no ?
No, he was talking about D being sometimes faster than C++, from
this quote, "The end result is that D programs are typically as
fast as C++ programs, sometimes faster, sometimes slower." So
Jonathan got the comparison right.
