Download ldc2 and use --compiler=ldc. DMD's optimization is 
incredibly slow with O(N!) time depending on what you are doing.

Try build the debug build to see if that is the issue. If your 
debug builds quickly then that was probably the issue. But in 
general you'd probably want to use LDC for tools you are going to 
be using.
