D definitely needs some optimizations, I mean look at its

identifying the specific areas that are slow.
I definitely believe D could do much better than what's shown.
Let's find D's performance weaknesses and crack them down.
I wouldn't put too much emphasis on that benchmark as the
implementations appear different? Note that Felix compiles to
C++, yet beats C++ in the same test? Yes, Felix claims to do some
high level optimizations, but doesn't that just tell us that the
C++ code tested wasn't optimal?
