Hi D gurus.

Did read an interesting post form GitLab [1] how they improved 
performance by 30x by just going to go_v1.9... because they again 
went from "fork" to "posix_spawn"...

I've searched the GitHub DLANG org for "posix_spawn" and didn't 
find a hit... so asking myself and you.... is DLANG still on 
"fork" and could there be some performance improvement potential?
