Can you also try to run your tests using ldc/gdc?

Optimizing for dmd is not interesting IMO, because of DMD's
suboptimal(!) optimizer.  I personally would rather not uglify code just
to improve DMD benchmarks.

But if your code shows improvement with ldc/gdc, *then* we have
something interesting to talk about.
