I'm no expert but (as others have pointed out):

- Algorithmic efficiency is more important than saving cycles.
- Memory/cache efficiency is more important than saving cycles
- Try using memory-efficient data structures like Judy (
   http://judy.sourceforge.net/ ).
- Compile with both DMD and GDC
- Reduce heap allocations as much as possible. For example, when
   possible, use scope for your classes (since this means they will be
   allocated on the stack).

So, basically, what everyone else said.
