Thought I'd add my experience, FWIW:

I don't seem to have the treeeditor sample (maybe that's new in 3.4-2?), but 
I tried dwt-samples\examples\simple.d:

DMD 1.037 Tango 0.99.7 DWT 3.4-1 DSSS 0.76 (oneatatime=no):
dsss build -full simple
- Builds in 34 seconds

Exactly the same thing but with DMD 1.039:
- Gives me a linker error after about 32 seconds:

--------------------------------
simple.d => simple

--------------------------------

I may be using some sort of stange unsupported configuration though: I ended 
up having to change three references in dwthelper from "tango.io." to 
"tango.io.device."

I'm not too concerned about the error at the moment, but I did think it was 
significant that it got to the linking phase in roughly the same amount of 
time as DMD 1.037. There seem to be some wildly inconsistent happenings in 
regards to 1.039's DWT compile times. You're certain your "oneatatme" 
setting didn't get reverted to on? Before I turned oneatatime off, both 
versions of DMD took around 15 minutes or so.
