John, thanks. That was it. md.d has nifty function that is
straightforward than the OOP version.
```
void main(string[] args)
{
foreach (d; parallel(dirEntries(args[1],
SpanMode.depth).filter!(f => f.isFile), 1))
{
auto data = cast(const(ubyte)[]) read(d.name);
auto hash = md5Of(data);
import std.array;
string[] t = split(d.name, '/');
writeln(toHexString(hash), " ", t[$-1]);
}
}
```
Also I expected the performance to be faster than `md5sum`.
However, that was not the case. Please see below. Is there anyway
to optimize this further?

strace showed lots of futex exchanges. Why would that be?
