In general, dmd is fantastic for its fast compilation speed. So, it works really well for developing whatever software you're working on (whereas ldc and gdc are typically going to be slower at compiling). And depending on what you're doing, the code is plenty fast. However, if you want to maximize the efficiency of your code, then you definitely want to be building the binaries that you actually use or release with ldc or gdc. - Jonathan M Davis
