A colleague of mine has written dmdcache which may be very

on a particular build environment for about half a dozen D
programs, one of which ends up being a 2G executable! WAT! :)
And the total cache size is 5.5G. Wow!
This build is with dmd 2.084.1 and that one particular
application uses tons of template instantiations most of which
are in generated source code. If I remember correctly, 2.084.1
does not contain template symbol name improvements and that may
be the reason for the large size.
Enjoy!

The main problem with this is that it does not take string
imports into account, (or does it ???, I don't see how it could
....)
Also the compilers output can depend on the timestamp at which
the compilation was done.
