Right, the author of the article used ldc. I'm always used
to dmd.
Keep in mind that he hasn't released the 9MB text that he
used, but instead pointed to that 5.3MB Shakespeare file.

This time I used LDC 0.11.0, with:

     ldc2 -O -release -disable-boundscheck

Times (minimum of 10 runs):

     before: 1617 ms

     after:  554 ms

Conclusion: using "byWords" was 3.4 times faster with DMD
and 2.9 times faster with LDC.
