after playing around with ddmd built with ldc, it's still a solid 30-40% slower than current dmd(with optimization flags, obv.)
How did you build it? This is especially important given that DDMD straight from the repo does not build with LDC right now as it tries to override the druntime memory allocation functions, which works only due to the way DMD's -lib is implemented.
On a system with 64 GiB RAM, Daniel and I could not measure any performance difference to the C++ version when building the Phobos unittests.
