I feel that's probably the case for any comparisons across two

compared to one that isn't. That's just blatant bias against D, not a
mistake from misunderstanding Go.
Yeah, I don't understand that either. Unit tests can be arbitrarily
large, so no matter how fast the compiler, it would always be possible
to make it take longer than any other language.
Exactly, which is why I'm insisting this - and not compiler
benchmarking, let alone idle chattaroo in the forums - is where we need
to hit. What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a high-impact
preapproved item of great general interest. Shall we start the auction?
