D slower than C++ in compile time

[Robert Fraser]

It will if I want to do any incremental compiling, which is what I've started in Trunk. It's not too late to change this, so I think I'll make an option "allow incremental compilation" or something. If that's off, it'll just pass the compiler a huge list of files. A era fix would be awesome though.
