Just be sure to test on LDC or GDC. DMD results are irrelevant to the 
performance-minded of our community. Also be sure to copy the whole code 
involved in a single file not link to Phobos.

People tend to thrown figures like ~10% slower with exceptions turned on 
but you'll never known what exactly they test.
