Some suggestions for D to increase its performance:
- The frequency of heap allocations (like for arrays and small 
class instances) of idiomatic D programs should decrease;
- The support for simple SIMD-based programming should improve. 
In the last weeks I have written here some posts on this topic;
- It should allow simple and almost-standard means to use GPUs;
