Could you elaborate? Surely, one can run multiple instances of
dmd in parallel, no?
In my (possibly flawed) understanding, to get the quickest
compile one would then:
* Determine the optimal number of parallel processes.
* Split the source files into that many chunks.
* Run parallel instances of the compiler, one on each of those
chunks.
I would try to do that but the reason I am going to write a build
system is that my project (which contains too many imported HTML
templates) requires too much memory to compile. So, I need also
to think how not to make chunks require too much memory.
