Tons of bug fixes == great!

But I have a problem: the compiler is either extremely slow for me, or 
is stuck in an endless loop. All it does is to slowly allocate memory. I 
aborted the compilation after ~ 20 minutes and 2 GB RAM allocation. This 
wasn't the case with dmd 1.053, where it only took 5-10 seconds to compile.

Can anyone confirm this?
