You also need to consider the market for D. Performance is one of 
D's key selling points. If it had the performance of Python then 
D would be a much less interesting language, and I honestly doubt 
anyone would even look at it.

Whether or not the bulk of software written is critically 
real-time is irrelevant. The question is whether the bulk of 
software written *in D* is critically real-time. I don't know 
what the % is, but I'd assume it is much larger than the average 
piece of software.
