I have some rather more anecdotal than experimental benchmarks for a
couple of classes of problem covering a large number of languages.  What
is the information OP is after?

The summary I have is that D is faster than Go which is faster than Java
in some circumstance for some problems.  Conversely the reverse is also
true for different problems.

Of course source development and evolution time is a different metric
and D and Go win hands down over Java, but then so does Groovy. And
indeed Python.

I guess the overall summary is that OP's "any benchmark done officially
comparing" is a complete underspecification of the parameters of
comparison.
