Unfortunately, you're right. The title will leave the impression "D is slow at compiling". You have to carefully read the article to see otherwise, and few will do that.

Well comparative to itself sometimes it is. When you initially write D code you get used to the blazing fast speeds, but when eventually the compilation speed slows down as a project grows then this has a real effect on productivity.

Maybe a better title would have been "D compilation sometimes slows down too much", but it wouldn't get as many hits. On the upside, people who read the article - or even just read the comments section, will quickly realize that D's compilation speed is still miles faster than the competition. They might actually try the language. :)
