Very likely, I'd say. IME dmd tends to give up inlining rather easily.
This is very much something that needs to improve, since ranges in D are
supposed to be a big selling point. Wouldn't want them to perform poorly
compared to hand-written loops.

Have you tried using gdc -O3 (or ldc) to see if there's a big
difference?
