I have converted to D many of the commonly found benchmarks, this is my version: http://codepad.org/ZbmSfseY If I compile it with with LDC1 with Link Time Optimization + Interning: ldc -O3 -release -inline -output-bc smallpt2_d.d opt -std-compile-opts smallpt2_d.bc > smallpt2_do.bc llvm-ld -native -ltango-base-ldc -ltango-user-ldc -ldl -lm -lpthread -internalize-public-api-list=_Dmain -o=smallpt2_do smallpt2_do.bc I produce a binary that's faster than the C++ version (22.7 seconds instead of 29 seconds).
