This will probably offend some people, but I think LDC/GDC

I did make LDC default compiler used in Arch but now people

unhappy with increased compile times so I may need to revert
it back

Can't please 'em all... According to Walter, many D users want
fast
compile times, and aren't as concerned about performance of the
generated code. But from this thread's OP, it seems there's
another
group of users who don't care about fast compile times but
want the
generated code to squeeze every last drop of performance from
their
CPUs.
So I guess we should be equally recommending all 3 compilers,
with a
note to help people choose their compiler depending on their
needs.
myOpinion = (fastCompileTimes * 10000 < fastCode);

For the development cycle too?
