Might be of use to someone, but I was looking for ways to speed
up dmd's albeit already fast compilation times.
Just by dropping in jemalloc in place of glibc's malloc via
LD_PRELOAD on my linux machine I saw a 10-15% drop in
compilation times across the board. Not sure if this is common
knowledge or not.
Might be interesting to try some other implementations, too?
TCMalloc[0] and nedmalloc[1] at least have permissive licenses.
(Hoard[2] and Lockless[3] also seem interesting, but are GPL or
worse.)
