The reasons for slow exceptions in D could be the generation
of stack trace strings or the garbage collector instead of
inherent trade offs to keep the successful code path fast.

And static allocation isn't an exactly appealing option...

  throw staticException ? staticException : (staticException =
  new SomethingException("Don't do this at home kids!"));

and practically out of question when you need to chain
exceptions and your call stack could contain this line of code
more than once, resulting in infinite loops in exception
chains as a new bug type in D, that is fixed by writing:

  catch (Exception e) {
      throw (staticException ? (e.linksTo(staticException) ? staticException.dupThenWrap(e) : staticException) : (staticException = new SomethingException("Don't do this at home kids!"));
  }
