i sometimes got the feeling that you underestimate the sheer power of 
todays clang or gcc optimizers - so partly what gdc/ldc can do with your 
code

reminds me of brian schotts exmaple of his sse2 optimized version of his 
lexer - the dmd generated was much faster then the normal version, but 
gdc/ldc results of the unoptimized versions are still 50% faster

i understand your focus on dmd - but talking about fast code and 
optimizing WITHOUT even trying to compare with other compiler results is 
just a little bit strange for someone who stated speed = money
