I find your assertions rather pointless, if not meaningless. Lua is certainly a 
joke language in D's preferred applications domains, just like D is a joke 
language as an embedded, data-description, or user-scripting language.
And precisely: the fact that Lua (well helped by LuaJIT) can outperform D on 
its own terrain --even if on a single example-- should give you *even more 
_respect_* for this language and its designers. (And raise serious worries 
about D ;-)
