Go into the Windows security center and uncheck the real time

half-speed with this too) disappear and everything will seem a
LOT faster.
I also noticed slow startup times for freshly compiled D programs.
And yes, I can verify that it's the Windows Defender's realtime
scan.
I switched it off (Windows 10) and dmd itself and the compiled D
program started just as fast as they should.
It gets better (with realtime scan enabled) when you compile your
programs with
dmd -O -release -m64 app.d
