yes it was a quick hack. I try it again. Optimizations were 
turned on -O3 in case of gcc -O i case of dmd. But I am convinced 
that D language and is sufficiently good case for myself. First I 
wanted to go with C++/C/Python trio but that I ca replace with 
one language getting rid of additional complexities and other 
stuff. I agree compilers are not my thing so I will have a look 
deeper. Thx for the comment.

Happy coding!
