If you're feeling ambitious, taking a closer look to see why would be most interesting.
It's nice if DMD can produce faster code, but in the short term I'd rather see priority being given to making the frontend/druntime more easily portable to different backends.
The speed issues of DMD have never bothered me, precisely because GDC and LDC exist -- and besides speed, there's also the issue of target architectures. The problem is rather having to wait for bugfixes and new features to propagate to the D compilers which already solved the speed and architecture issues.
