Small part of a program : d and c versions performances diff.

Have you benchmarked the D code without starting the current 
d-runtime (without GC)?

Is a starting time of around 0.015 seconds on an old PC is a huge 
one? I think no one has worked a lot in decreasing this tiny 
time. If you care for such time, D being open source, you can 
take a look at the runtime starting code.
