it runs the same with or without caching the primes, and most of

Don't ever do that. I mean allocating memory in tight cycle. Instead use circular buffer. (just use the same array and wrap indexes)
 if( !(to!int(c) ).isPrime )
And since to!int can't know about circular buffers. You'd have roll your own. I don't think it's hard.

Curiously i've just posted a sample (as part of another topic) that progressively gives your larger primes. I haven't speed tested it, but it always spits out primes. http://forum.dlang.org/thread/jovicg$jta$1 digitalmars.com So your code might look like... primes_walk pw; pw.cap = 1_000_000; foreach(i; pw) { if( i.isCircularPrime) { //i is always prime

 auto c = to!string(n);

Your versions of isCircularPrime just truncates the number ( this 
is actually useful in a next problem though; )

prime_walks is a nice and efficient way to find primes ... and 
not a bit n00bfriendly.

I'm not posting it anywhere, I'm just learning and having fun.

Hmm glancing at the original source I see what you mean. A slight modification to fill primes with bools primes beforehand and a slight re-write of the circular check code would do the trick. And after doing so I still end up with about the same speed, course the second run I was doing a foreach on bool[] primes, and not on prime_walk, but you get the idea...

 699.999 and from 800.000 to 899.999 (and other sub-intervals,

 You'll skip 70% of checks...
I went ahead and tried that.. It varied the execution speed, giving a slight speedup or a slight slowdown, but the checks are almost not worth it. In the circular check 99% of them fail on the first rotation. Guess it ends up as "which is cheaper?". 10 compares? or 1 divide and 1 multiply and 1 lookup?
 that's true for the Circular check ... but in the whole app, 
 the most time is spent finding primes.
Which is why I simplified the whole code in my example. prime_walk always returns the next prime, and using the primes array, we instantly know if the number checked is prime. Large portions of the code are rather wasteful in the original example, like checking for a prime and then a circular prime. Skipping the understanding of prime_walk, using the levels (for the most significant digit) should be fairly self explanatory, plus it is MUCH faster than convert to string and then convert back again.

<snip> You might as well not use a string representation at all. At the beginning of the loop, calculate the number of digits in n, then pow10 = 10 ^^ (digits - 1). Then cycle with n = n / 10 + (n % 10) * pow10; Stewart.

Do you mean build an array of already-found primes and use them to test new primes? You need only to try dividing by each prime up to the square root of the number being tested.
 Another huge improvement could be made with hardcoding everything up
 to the prime 3 and then iterate with intervals of 2 instead of 1.
Yes, that's a common optimisation. Faster still would be to test 6k-1 and 6k+1 for each positive integer k. Indeed, I've done more than this in my time: hard-coded all the primes up to 30 and the residues modulo 30 that can possibly be of primes above 30. Stewart.

 Stewart.
This person has done a number of optimizations. He gets some speed-up by storing in bits rather than bytes. It is also designed for segments that fir in the L1 cache. http://code.google.com/p/primesieve/

If you check for circulars numbers from 0 to 1.000.000 you can 
skip intervals from 200.000 to 299.999, from 400.000 to 699.999 
and from 800.000 to 899.999 (and other sub-intervals, of course).

You'll skip 70% of checks...

 it runs the same with or without caching the primes, and most 
 of the time it spends finding primes; isCircularPrime can be 
 optimized a bit, obviously, but it's not the bottleneck.

that's true for the Circular check ... but in the whole app, the 
most time is spent finding primes.

 If you check for circulars numbers from 0 to 1.000.000 you can 
 skip intervals from 200.000 to 299.999, from 400.000 to 699.999 
 and from 800.000 to 899.999 (and other sub-intervals, of 
 course).

 You'll skip 70% of checks...

============
The number, 197, is called a circular prime because all rotations 
of the digits: 197, 971, and 719, are themselves prime.

There are thirteen such primes below 100: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 
31, 37, 71, 73, 79, and 97.

How many circular primes are there below one million?

A number that cannot be circular prime need not be checked whether regular prime. Ali -- D Programming Language Tutorial: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html

I used the blockwise parallel sieve described here, and measured nice speed-ups as described in his blog. It completes calculations within an L1 cache block before moving on. Perhaps you can redesign you code to do the same... http://create.stephan-brumme.com/eratosthenes/

Curiously I've done most of these (Although not exactly as written). The blockwise makes sense; I've seen a prime checker JS somewhere that uses those exact primes and if a number wasn't divisible by them it was 'probably prime'. All of this is good material to glance over and review though :)
