Never benchmark programs without at least some optimization flags (e.g. 
-O for DMD). It does not allow you to draw any conclusions, unless you 
really want to compare the performance of the compilers for debug builds 
of your application (where performance usually doesn't matter, except 
for in realtime-ish applications).
