No -unittest. In Phobos the unittest build turns -unittest on separately 
for each module, so I can't quickly test the build speed with -unittest 
on. That being said, there's still plenty of non-template code in Phobos.

BTW Phobos is built in release mode (as I assume go's library is). 
Building in debug mode reduces build time by more than a third.
