I note that D is worse on everything then gcc except for a few cases 
where the differences are extream.  I think D's score would be much 
lower without chameneos and cheap-concurrency.  It would be nice if 
someone could work out exactly what is causing the performance drop in 
each of the other algorithms.  There maybe somethings that Walter could 
tweak in the compiler.
