On my hardware with -inline options it now takes about 15 secs which is
still slower than Python but with both -inline and -noboundscheck it
takes 13 secs and finally beats Python.
But I still kind of disappointed because I expected a much better
performance boost and got only 7%. Counting that Python is not the
fastest scripting language I think that similar Perl and Java scripts
will outperform D easily.
Never make such statements without doing actual measurements.
Furthermore, it is completely meaningless anyway. Performance benchmarks
always compare language implementations, not languages.
(Case in point: You get twice the speed by using another compiler
backend implementation.)
