Many thanks for the feedback yazd! I've tested the approach with
a large csv file and it works fine. Unfortunately csvReader seems
very convenient but it is no speed daemon. To my dismay it was
much slower (about 4x) than a simple approach I am using in
Python, which is essentially equivalent
dmd -O (2.066.1) and gdc -O3 (4.9.2)
But... as I tried to convey, I was comparing apples to oranges. I
have now rewritten the D test simply using split(',') instead of
csvReader, to be more similar to the python test, and it runs
about 2x faster in D with dmd and about 4x faster with gdc
