Before I had time to look into it, somebody graciously optimised 
cerealed for me in this PR:

https://github.com/atilaneves/cerealed/pull/6

And now then benchmarks are (dub build --build=release, fastest 
of 10 runs for each compiler):

DMD:
Cerealed: 1 sec, 199 ms, 118 μs, and 1 hnsec
MsgPack:  1 sec, 85 ms, and 516 μs

GDC:
Cerealed: 927 ms, 677 μs, and 4 hnsecs
MsgPack:  1 sec, 32 ms, 736 μs, and 5 hnsecs

LDC:
Cerealed: 970 ms, 482 μs, and 6 hnsecs
MsgPack:  896 ms, 591 μs, and 2 hnsecs


Not too shabby!
