Not really. It's very hard to beat sensibly written C* in most
languages. D is one of the few where you have a chance on
anything other than very specific benchmarks. Others include
fortran and c++.
*Note: not the impossible, perfect C that no one can actually
write for more than ~1000 lines. Just good, straightforward,
normal C code.
