It takes about 3 seconds to write the map file(I have it 
generating cross references, not sure what it actually does but I 
thought it might help with debugging issues. I have it enabled 
for both x86 and x64. I thought I disabled
it with no differences, but maybe I missed it).

It takes another 4 seconds to create the pdb.

But it seems that about 6 seconds are done doing thing

Not sure what is happening in there but it seems like Visual D or 
Visual Studio issue rather than dmd ;/


I'll look in to it some more to see what I can find.
