If we would make GDC or LDC the official compiler then the

ldc is still significantly faster than clang, or gdc than gcc.
I don't think this is that much of a valid concern, especially
for smaller programs.
For larger programs, LDC with single-file compilation outdoes
DMD by a large factor on any recent multi-core CPU for both
debug and release builds in my tests. DMD did not scale across
cores anywhere near as well as LDC.
OTOH, it does not benefit from singleobj this way when doing
release builds.
Would it be possible to point me in the directions of projects
where you saw ldc being faster? I didn't try per-module, but on
the projects I tried, dmd is still considerably faster when
compiling per-package. And given that per-package is nearly
always faster than per-module...
