Boostrapping D, will certainly reveal some issue with GC? I don't know 
much about compilers, but certainly the parser may see some performance 
gains with GC and the other parts? Maybe some major loose?

I am curious to see that as a benchmark comparator.

It's not real-time but it's a serious system application challenge.
