It should be interesting, since presumably, your script to translate dmd to D basically generates the D equivalent of the C++ code, so major performance differences would point us to areas that need improvement in D. > Also note that the autotester is only building ddmd in debug mode - > the dmd I'm comparing it against was built in release mode with full > optimizations. Oh.

Awesome. One thought that occurred to me -- once the autotester goes green on all platforms, we should probably have the autotester include ddmd testing on all dmd PR's, so that during the transition period the C++ and D changes will be fully in sync.
