you change just one line in one file, you incur that entire
build time, every time, because it can't just rebuild the one
source file that changed. You also can't do multi-processor
builds with all-in-one build strategies.
4 seconds? That's just untrue. D is actually kinda slow these
days... In my experience it's slower than modern C++ compilers
by quite a lot.
It was definitely about 4 seconds not too long ago, a few years
at most.
It does seem to take more time now; I wonder why.
