The recent speed improvements in git-head have improve both the
DMC-based and MSVC-based DMD executables. It shaved off from 700msecs
on small projects up to 4 seconds on large projects for clean builds
(for me).

That being said the MSVC built compiler is usually twice as fast as
the DMC built one. It goes to show that whatever is in that DMC
backend is long outdated.
