The difference goes down to 66K vs. 60K with `dub -brelease --compiler=gdc`. ldc's not as slim but still much better than dmd, and -brelease is actually much less significant. So dmd's the main culprit for the bloat here. huh.
But since you have importPaths-ldc perhaps you weren't using dmd to begin with.
