I just updated one of my projects from 2.069.0 to 2.071.0, and 
saw the build time jump from ~1.7s to ~2.5s. Take this single 
informal data point with a huge grain of salt obviously, but I am 
also curious about the details of this. DMD's speed is one of D's 
selling points to me, and I might roll back until performance 
improves if there isn't a straightforward fix.

Agreed though, otherwise a great release. Thanks for everyone's 
hard work!
