Another check that would be more worthwhile but harder to measure 
would be speed of compilation of druntime/phobos, especially 
since speed of compilation is considered a key selling point of 
D.  Harder to measure because it depends on what else is going on 
on that machine, but with some care and enough samples, you could 
get something representative.
