I have seen repeatedly - on stack overflow and elsewhere - people 
benchmarking 'D' against other languages using dmd.  The 
messaging on the home page and download page is not clear.  We 
might consider making it clearer - dmd for fast compilation and 
ldc/gdc for fast code if you need it - because not doing so 
undermines a key benefit of D.

And an article on general techniques to make D code fast would be 
good both for the web site and for Adam's newsletter.  I am not 
the person to write this for now.
