I have found DMD to be OK but often a bit slow compared to C++
codes
using GCC and Clang. However, LDC and GDC generally create
executables
from D codes that are at least as fast as C++ with GCC and
Clang.
Yes, that is the general opinion. However, I have a hard time to
reach the obscenely tuned C++ programs.
