I think it's relevancy is only geared towards projects that are
compiling one file at a time - ie: I'd expect all gdc users to be
compiling in this way as whole program compilation using gdc still
needs some rigourous testing first.  If there is a particular large
module, or set of large modules that are persistantly being
importanted, then you will see a notable constant slowdown on
compilation of each file.
