It's been a fair amount of time since somebody has done profiling of
dmd. It needs to be done. There's probably plenty of low hanging
fruit. Speculating about why it is slow is pointless without data.
I profiled it as soon as I had the numbers. I didn't bother to mention
it because I thought I'd just work on making dmd faster instead.
I seem to be the one who feels the most pain by this, it'd be silly of
me to expect anyone else to work on it.
A large and obvious time sink is that unittests in library code are
built when user code is to be unittested. I'd recommend doing this
before any other optimization.
