Yes, that's what I thought. Probably, there is something strange
going on in the depths of LLVM.

Introducing pragma(LDC_never_inline) slightly improves execution
time of the ldc result to 5.4s. Still, this is more than three
times slower than the fast version produced by clang++.

No problem, thanks for the info!

Thanks, there is no time pressure. I compared ASM and LLVM-IR of
the fast and slow versions using clang++. Unfortunately, my foo
in this area is non-existent. The only thing I noticed is that
the fast version has significantly longer ASM and LLVM-I
representations.
Kind regards,
