These benchmarks seem to support the idea that it's not the parsing
which is slow, but the code generation phase. If code
generation/optimization is the bottleneck, a "ccache-for-D" ("dcache"?)
tool might be very beneficial.
(However, then why do C++ standard committee members believe that the
replacement of text-based #includes with C++ modules ("import") will
speed up the compilation by one order of magnitude?)
How many source files are used? If all the functions are always packed
into one large source file, or just a small handful, then that would
mean the tests are accidentally working around C++'s infamous #include
slowdowns.
