Yea, this was a frustration. :-(  It was really nice to be able to write simple,
clean, elegant code using D -- it was sad to discover that while this was great
for a prototype, the performance gap was far too large to make it a viable
long-term solution.

Most of the issues seem to centre around GC, so there might be some low-hanging
fruit there for performance improvements.
