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.

My negative experience was, when using ctRegex and normal regex.
But it was no problem to separate the functions using regex in a lib and compile
them separately. (app saving 3 seconds)

The same approach was working with .dt (diet template in vibe.d) and the function(s) instantiating it, put both together in an own lib. And define it as a local external dependency. In the moment I am thinking about a way to do this automatically. So that every new build of my vibe.d app, only needs to compile the changes.

(p.s. I am aware of this: https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/diet-ng#experimental-html-template-caching)
