Increasing speed of D applications to Intel C compiled applicaitons' standards

[Teoman Soygul]

My personal benchmarks prove that applications written in D are 5%
to 20% slower than identical code written in C and compiled with
Intel C compilter 9. Does anyone know what to do with this
problem? Is it a compiler specific problem (ie: D compiler lacking
all the optimisation parameters) or the standard d libary or
what??

Any information/idea would be appriciated. Before starting a big
project, speed issues with D seems to be the biggest obstacle to
overcome.
