ldc was recently added to the list of compilers that test ddmd 
continuously on travis CI:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5025

The associated travis CI run that finally went green with ldc 
0.16.0 beta 2 took about as long as the other D compilers, so 
performance of ldc-compiled ddmd seems comparable:
