          Issue ID: 12949
           Summary: Project compilation time increased by 64% for last
                    half year
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: verylonglogin.reg gmail.com

I update dmd+phobos two or three times a year. Recent update changed my project
compilation time from 11 sec to 18 sec (+64%).

I'm not sure, but previous update probably changed it from 8 sec to 11 sec
which was still acceptable. Looks like we finally have twice slower compilation
time than year ago and still slowing down. Not sure is it a compiler or Phobos
changes.

IMO we should either fix compilation time (I have no idea how be the way) or
inform D users compilation time constantly increases so they can account it
deciding to update or stay with an old version.
