Yes, calling on every keystroke a DCD client executable which 
itself calls DCD server executable via TCP just doesn't work.
Instead, in addition  to the D plugin, I installed LSP plugin and 
the D Language Language Server DLS.
DLS will also call DCD but as library.

Another performance issue is, the D Intellij plugin executes Dub 
very often for syntax checking. There is currently only a hack to 
disable it 
(https://github.com/intellij-dlanguage/intellij-dlanguage/issues/331)

At the moment there is some manual work needed (1 hour) to setup 
the D Intellij plugin. But if you invest it, it is a great IDE 
and makes a lot of fun.


Kind regards
Andre
