What else? ;-)

Oh that's at the header of the benchmark script:

https://github.com/libmir/mir/blob/master/benchmarks/flex/normal_dist.d

I excluded it from the post to avoid visual noise as I thought 
that the ones that are interested will check it anyhow.

Now that I added the flags for C++  directly in the script it 
probably got very confusing. Sorry, I will replace C++ flags with 
a link to the benchmark soon.

See the benchmark file above.
