Doesn't happen to me. I doubt the problem is in dmd itself. Maybe deep
path search, antivirus, or something like that ?

Hum, I didn't suspect anti-virus because DMD 2.068 (a version before the
port to D) works fine. However it turns out that indeed anti-virus is
the problem. My laptop is on Windows 7 and if I turn off real-time
protection on Microsoft Security Essentials, DMD starts instantaneously.

I wonder how we can sign dmd to prevent a scan with every run. Any
experts in the matter n da house? -- Andrei


The user can add entries to a list of files/folders that are excluded from the MSE scan. So that's a workaround. But yes, better if it would work out-of-the-box, especially for users who might not be aware the slowdown is due to anti-virus check.

Also, an important follow-up is: could this be affecting other DMD-generated programs?
