This is the most recent one where John Colvin provided some pointers to speed it up significantly. Walter has done some good work taking the low-hanging fruit to speed up DMD code and there is a lot of effort going on with reference counting machinery but I wondered if some of the common errors people make that slow down D code can be addressed?
Something that annoyed me a bit is floating-point comparisons, DMD does not seem to be able to handle them from SSE registers, it will convert to FPU and do the comparison there IIRC.
