once again dconf contains people who talk about compile speed

What are they doing? Even my worse compile time abstraction was
O(n^2) or maybe some awful string concatenation of an entire
file; still effectively instant
Wheres a 1000 line file that does something meta programmingly
useful that takes 5 minutes?
Do they lose track of what the compiler is even doing? Do they
turn off the template recursion depth limit?
My recent experience: removing usage of SumType and replacing it
with my own solution reduced dmd memory usage from 6GB to 1.7GB
and improved compilation speed.
