Replacing "import core.stdc.math" with "import std.math" in the D example increases the avg runtime from 19.64 to 23.87 seconds (~20% slower) which is consistent with OP's statement.
+ GDC/LDC vs DMD + nobounds, release
Do you think we should start a topic on D wiki front page for benchmarking/performance tips to organize peoples' experience of what works?
I took a quick look and couldn't see anything already. And it seems to be a topic that comes up quite frequently (less on forum than people doing their own benchmarks and it getting picked up on reddit etc).
I am not so experienced in this area otherwise I would write a first draft myself.
