Yea, it's like compiling GCC. You may as well go buy your groceries, run a 
few other errands, and go out for dinner. And I'm not even eggagerating. 
It's rediculous. (Maybe it's gotten better since I last tried though, but 
even so, it'd still tale a LOOOONG fucking time)

And even that's not even the worst. Mainstream videogames have been known to 
frequently take at least a full day. I'm not certain, but I seem to remember 
hearing about ones that took "days" - plural.

And then that leads to "incredibuild", build farms, blah, blah, blah, it's 
all a big fucking mess.

The longest I've ever had to wait for a D program to comple (DDMD) was about 
1.5 to 2 minutes - and that was on a 32-bit single-core.
