Then I think your timings could be OK, I am using an old 2.3 GHz 
CPU.

OK.

dmd compiles very quickly, but to compile writeln D has to digest 
a good amount of Phobos code. So you will not see a much larger 
compilation time if you compile small D programs.

I think I've never used Tango with dmd.
