Compilation is taking a ton of memory

Hello,
Our code base has been growing steadily and it's currently at a
point where my 16GB machine just freezes when we're compiling our
code. This happens because DMD just consumes all my memory for a
while.
Also, it's taking a long time to compile it. Less than an year
ago our project was taking around 17 seconds to compile - no libs
requiring compilation - and maybe around 50 seconds for full
compilation, and it now takes around 50 seconds for an
incremental compilations and around 1.5 minutes for a full one.
For you guys to have an idea of the size of our project, we have
21151 lines of code and then 50933 in our libs. This is just our
code without counting dependencies fetched by dub like vibe.d for
example.
Are there any plans to work on compiler performance in terms of
memory consumption and compilation time?
Any tips on how to code in a way that minimizes both compilation
times and memory consumption when compiling?
Thanks,
Mario
