Could you elaborate? Surely, one can run multiple instances of 
dmd in parallel, no?

In my (possibly flawed) understanding, to get the quickest 
compile one would then:
* Determine the optimal number of parallel processes.
* Split the source files into that many chunks.
* Run parallel instances of the compiler, one on each of those 
chunks.
