question about debug code speed:

a far as i understand it now is the code-speed of (assoc) arrays 
independent from the debug-code-generator because of the buildinness

i ask because i hate the speed of std::vectors/maps at debug-time
especially when it comes to large datasets - my major slowdown in 
prototype development comes then from the awfully slow stl containers - 
does D suffer from this - or will it, when you add this extension?
