Dmd is very well-supported on Windows, but its optimizing backend 
is not as good as llvm.  Ldc's MSVC support has only been around 
for a year or two, so while it produces faster code, you may run 
into some bugs.  If you have to have speed, your best bet is to 
use ldc and report any issues you run into.

I don't think gcc supports Windows very well, so I doubt gdc can 
either.
