Unfortunately, no.  I checked into this at one point because I basically 
use parallelism for everything in D and have an 8-core computer at work. 
  Therefore, if PyPy is a factor of 5 (just making up numbers) slower 
than D for equivalently written code, it's 40x slower once you consider 
that parallelism is easy in D and really hard except at the coarsest 
grained levels in PyPy.
