Yes.  The larger the project, the more D will help.

Using -inline doesn't enable the inline assembler.  If the compiler 
supports it and you are using the right architecture, the inline 
assembler is automatically enabled.  Using -inline gets rid of small 
functions by essentially transforming the function call into the code of 
the function.
