Sorry for being off topic,

Rustc(uses LLVM) has a parallel codegen compilation mode that 
decreases optimization for a (major AFAIK?) decrease in 
compilation time when compiling multiple files. Would it be 
possible for LDC to offer the same thing without a major rewrite? 
I'm unfamiliar with the LDC codebase which is why I ask.
Probably worth noting that even with parallel codegen rustc is 
still far slower than ldc.
