No, it's a different statement.
I'll try to post another more real-looking benchmark later, anyway.

In the meantime I'll keep using Python for many of my purposes where I need hash maps and sets (and regular expressions, etc), instead of D, because in tons of real-world tests I have seen Python dicts are quite faster.
