Any other backend would be better. DMD with -O takes over an hour for my project to compile. In comparison LDC with -O3 takes less than a minute and produces a faster binary. It doesn't really make sense to increase the workload maintaining 2-3 different compilers when D is already lacking manpower.
A 60:1 speedup? I've never heard of that big of a difference before. Especially since LDC is typically slower to compile, even on massive code bases like Weka's.
Could you please file a bug with some details?
