Note that where Tango excels, is in memory usage, meaning that memory
allocations are avoided wherever possible. This usually has a very positive
effect on speed as well, considering allocating memory usually is a slow
process. Subsequent garbage collections tend to make this effect worse. I
would indeed expect D (taking advantage of slicing) and Tango to be perfect
for a search engine.

Tango has less functionality per module, making it more likely that when
importing something, you will only get what you actually want.

Feel free to join #d.tango on Freenode for specific questions.
