When looking at the problem of compilation times I think: Wouldn't it
speed up the development process, if spiting your code in modules would
automatically results in creating small libs which are - if possible -
compiled only once?
The idea of using a caching mechanism, is an other general way not to
compile the same over and over again. Part of the discussion is here:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7239#issuecomment-340256110
basically, compilation of a code without templates is FAST. 500+ KB of
source almost without templates often compiles in less than a second (on
not-so-bleeding-edge i3, not even i7).
but throw templates in a mix, and BOOM! coffee and cigarettes.
