- The first thing is to compile with the best options:
dmd mandelbrot.d -O -release -inline -boundscheck=off
- You append a lot, which can cause reallocs for imageData; Try
import std.array;
Appender!(ubyte[]) imageData;
The code will not have to be changed for "~=" since Appender
overloads this operator.
- I'd use "double" instead of "real".
