Your advice is appreciated but quite disheartening. I was hoping for something (nearly) as easy to use as Python's parallel.Pool() map(), given that this is essentially an "embarassingly parallel" problem. Avoidance of GC allocation and self-written buffered IO functions seems a bit much to ask of a newcomer to a language.
You're right, these are issues of D's standard library that are not easy for a newcomer to tackle. In case of Python's parallel.Pool() separate processes do the work without any synchronization issues. In case of D's std.parallelism it's just threads inside one process and they do fight for some locks, thus this result.
