I didn't get that either, maybe he meant the PR that yours fixed 
is the one that doubled it?

Yeah, I saw that, but I was talking about adding a github check 
for D PRs and how they affect compilation speed, especially for 
dmd PRs.  Druntime/Phobos and eventually ddmd may not be the best 
way to check it, but it's the closest lamppost. ;)

Smaller binary size is nice to have, but not that important, 
especially since we've been neglecting it for some time now.

Compilation speed is something we're always trumpeting, we better 
track it.
