Yes. I'm not sure how to structure this whole suite. The general 
goal is "D claims that it can match C/C++ in performance, let's 
have some actual numbers". So far D mostly disappoints in terms 
of performance.

There are at least three interesting variations "fastest parallel 
programs", "fastest sequential programs" and "short idiomatic 
programs". Probably all of them should be compared.
