High level constructs in D are often slower than low-level code, so in some cases you don't want to use them.
I actually found that LDC does an _amazing_ job of optimizing high level constructs and converting "low level" code to higher level functional code resulted in minor speedups in a lot of cases.
(Other performance benefits include the algorithm primitives being extensively optimized in phobos.)
