Hum... Too bad :/

I was able to improve my first "printDiamon" by having a single 
slice that contains spaces then stars, and make writeln's of that.

It gave (on my windows) speeds comparable to your printDiamond3. 
But not any speed differences that warrants posting new code.

Thanks for the benches. This was fun :)

I love how D can achieve *great* performance, while still looking 
readable and maintainable.
