As a good approximation you can use a profile build of dmd.
It will give you a breakdown of how long the individual functions 
took.
Due to the way the profiling works, it does homogenize the values 
a bit.
Files are not streamed into dmd, it reads them as one Block.
Therefore there is no need for a ramfs.
