With 1.036 it took 16.74 seconds and lib size became 8.1. I get same results with "-lib" while compiling derelict opengl and glu - it now takes a bit longer and produces bigger libs. Have you changed something?

I have no idea why the generated code got bigger again, but it's far
from being the first time.
