Yes, but for optimized builds, it would not be very surprising if LDC
was quite a bit slower, as it simply performs a lot more
optimizations. You are right, even with heavy optimizations, we are
probably not going to beat the DMD backend in debug build performance,
but a 4x slowdown seems a bit much.
