For larger programs, LDC with single-file compilation outdoes DMD 
by a large factor on any recent multi-core CPU for both debug and 
release builds in my tests. DMD did not scale across cores 
anywhere near as well as LDC.
OTOH, it does not benefit from singleobj this way when doing 
release builds.
