One problem here is pointed by the blogger: "I tried to compile with LDC2 and failed (windows 7 x64): ..."

Can he be helped?

Thanks,

DMD

    MD5 - 16.05s (470% slower)
    SHA1 - 2.35s (19% faster)
    SHA256 - 47.96s (690% slower (!))
    SHA512 - 61.47s (1375% slower (!))

LDC2

    MD5 - 2,18s (55% faster)
    SHA1 - 2.88s (same)
    SHA256 - 6,79s (3% faster)
    SHA512 - 4,6s (3% slower)
