This seems rather strange. Do you maybe set the dub flag --force 
or -f which will cause a full rebuild? Or do you have a rather 
old dub version?

I just guessing as I do not have experience with Visual D. I know 
for direct dub usage or usage of Intellij, the dependencies are 
built once, unless there is a need for rebuild.

Kind regards
