Compilation Time

[Burp via Digitalmars-d]

  I'm not sure how valid the comparison would be, even if someone 
did port it to D.

That C++ project is very old, and was likely not organized to 
minimize compilation times, may not have used precompiled headers 
etc.

  It is possible to set up C++ projects such that even very large 
ones will compile(incrementally) in only a few seconds(depends on 
what you changed), although it is something of a pain in the ass 
and requires a fair amount of work on the developers part.
