I doubt that LDC has compile times that are 3-5 times longer then those of DMD (even in debug without optimization). D advertises with short compile times, so unless LDC improves I don't see this happening. And thats only one of the points.
Having 3 different D compilers with different strengths and weaknesses spurs improvements in all of them. When I was at GoingNative2013, it was pretty obvious to me that the playful and friendly competition between gcc, clang, and vc has improved all three greatly.
