I dunno if this was discussed already (I couldn't find any other thread)
- but ever since DMD was ported to D, the startup performance on Windows
has become horrible. Takes over 3 seconds on my machine just to display
the version.
```
$ time ./dmd.exe --version
DMD32 D Compiler v2.071.0

real 0m3.312s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.015s
```
On Linux (even under a VM), it's instantaneous. LDC is instantaneous
too. Is this a bug or some architectural/backend limitation of DMD on
Windows?
