Umm.. you kinda missed the last part of my post...

..where I said..'Now if I were running a million processes across 
1000's of servers, I probably would give a damn.'

C'mon... nothing in my code was 'unacceptable' in terms of speed 
or efficiency.

Making code transformations to improve speed and efficieny are 
important, but secondary. A newcomer cannot improve code that 
they do not understand ;-)

Picking understandable code first, IS right.

In any case, I say again, this thread is not about writing 
performance code per se, but about presenting code to new-comers, 
that they can make some sense of.

Taking some C code, and writing/presenting it in D (or 
vica-versa) in such a way that you can longer make any sense of 
it, is kinda futile.

I doubt the original op will ever come back to D, after seeing 
some of those examples that were provided ;-)
