If you do let me know, we can merge the efforts.
Coincidentally what I started uses your std.simd:
http://code.dlang.org/packages/fast
https://github.com/mleise/fast

I haven't pushed the latest changes which include updates to
the latest D versions and switching between lookup tables and
SSE3 for char in string search.

The idea is to build a collection of the fastest versions of
basic utility functions. No safety nets, no garbage collection.
