I was going to ask why a test app build with 'ldmd2 -inline 
-release -O -g' appears to be quite a bit slower than one built 
with 'ldmd2 -inline -release -O', and I suppose that answers that 
question as well?


(I thought i'd run it through the Very Sleepy Profiler to compare 
it with the version build with DMD. If i compile without -g then 
it works but I get no function names, and if I compile it with -g 
the profiler crashes (Doesn't seem to be an LDC issue though - It 
seems to have issues with Mingw 3.8 in general).
