--- Comment #1 from Vladimir Panteleev <thecybershadow at gmail.com> ---
If we want to improve build times with rdmd, the best thing we can do is get
rid of rdmd (and only leave it as a thin wrapper around dmd). This is because
rdmd needs to run dmd -o- to get the dependency graph, and then run dmd again
to actually build the program. This means that lexing, parsing, semantics -
everything except code gen and linking - must happen twice. For template or
mixin-heavy code, this nearly doubles compilation time.
