In fact single-module compilation is slower than package 
compilation most of the time due to the redundant 
parsing&semantic of common imports. As an extreme example, last 
time I tried, single-module compilation for gtkd was ~10x slower 
than compiling the library at once. Savings on recompilation 
hardly make up for this huge overhead.
Overall I'd recommend organizing and building subpackages when a 
project becomes too big.
