I bet the D version would be significantly faster if you didn't read the file as 
a text string, then try breaking it up into an array of lines, then break those 
lines up into an array of strings, etc. This is a lot of memory allocation.

Instead, open the file and use byLine() on it, which does not allocate memory.
