I assuem that a 64bit DMD building 64bit binaries is one of the

32bit->64bit.)
There's not much reason to provide a 64 bit binary of dmd. I doubt it
would run any faster, and there's no need for a compiler to consume 5
GB of memory.
I've hit 1GB compileing a single file. It wouldn't be hard to hit 3GB.
Yes, but I'm almost certain that's just DMD's poor memory management,
rather than an intrinsic memory-hungry problem. Array literals consume a
*ridiculous* amount of memory, especially when you start modifying them
in CTFE.
The solution is to improve the memory management, rather than give the
compiler another 200GB to waste <g>.
