So this isn't a great solution but what I have done in the past 
is just have a little script running

ps aux | grep dmd
sleep 1 # or whatever time you want

in a loop running in the background to gather some data as it 
goes. If combined with dmd -v you can interpolate the -v and ps 
output to get an idea of what the memory use is at a certain 
point of what the compiler is working on.

again i know it isn't great but it is easy to play with and 
better than nothing
