As far as I can see, this benchmark only compares C++ 
serialisation. On top of that, I doubt the performance of 
cerealed is at all related to the performance of cereal.

Cerealed is by far the only D serializer; We, for example, are 
happy users of [sbin](https://code.dlang.org/packages/sbin).

I am not sure of the value of a cross-language serialisation 
benchmark other than bragging rights, as I wouldn't select a 
language on serialisation performance. That said, D should have 
an advantage over C++ because of its introspection capabilities.
