Yea, this was a frustration. :-( It was really nice to be able to write simple, clean, elegant code using D -- it was sad to discover that while this was great for a prototype, the performance gap was far too large to make it a viable long-term solution. Most of the issues seem to centre around GC, so there might be some low-hanging fruit there for performance improvements.
