i still don't get what you comparing here

you benchmarking something like an mixup of code-generation, 
startup-times and filesystem behavior + lexing time (+ lexing output style)

and this all makes only sense if you lexer produces the very same output 
(so it can be out of the box used as an replacement) as the dmd lexer - 
for beeing compareable

or aren't you in the phase of detail benchmarking/profiling?
