Could you elaborate? Surely, one can run multiple instances of
dmd in parallel, no?
In my (possibly flawed) understanding, to get the quickest
compile one would then:
* Determine the optimal number of parallel processes.
* Split the source files into that many chunks.
* Run parallel instances of the compiler, one on each of those
chunks.
dmd scales extremely poorly across threads, to the poor where I
got negative performance in parallel.
LDC runs faster than dmd in parallel on my xeon machine.
