You rarely need to use BigInt for heavy lifting though, often 
it's just summing, not that I would argue against optimization. I 
think speed is absolutely vital and one of the most powerful 
things we could do to promote D would be to run the best 
benchmarks site for all language comers and make sure D does very 
well. Every time there's a benchmark contest it seems to unearth 
D performance issues that can be greatly improved upon.

I'm sure you will beat me pretty quickly, as I said my maths 
isn't very good but it might motivate me to solve some more! =)
