It is relevant to build times. Compare the build times of this:

import std.algorithm;
import std.array;
import std.conv;
import std.file;
import std.string;
import std.stdio;
import std.typetuple;
import std.typecons;
import std.traits;
import std.range;

void main() { }

With this:
void main() { }

First:
$ timeit dmd test.d
Elapsed Time:     0:00:00.296

Second:
$ timeit dmd test.d
Elapsed Time:     0:00:00.031

That's not a lot of time wasted but it does affect compile times a
little bit. I wonder if DMD could be improved a bit in this regard.
