LDC and GDC are quite a bit slower than DMD. Is this gap inherent in the structure of these compilers or can there be an LDC mode which compiles as rapidly as DMD?
The difference in time between LDC and DMD is in the machine code generation that is much slower in LDC (LLVM) than in DMD, even in debug mode. We are looking into improving codegen speed, but it is not something straightforward.
