Look in RosettaCode for various implementations in D:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Hamming_numbers#D

A good part of the performance difference is caused by the D GC 
and the fact that Haskell GHC uses a the GNU multiprecision libs 
for its bigsint. In the meantime we have to maintain, optimize 
and debug our bigint implementation, wasting time better spent 
elsewhere.
