current stats:

14min 14sec compile time
~1070MB memory usage (256 actual memeory)

And that's only the 26 productions needed to define expressions!

BTW does anyone known of an command line tool that will given me peak memory usage on linux?

You can sort the columns in top.

Sounds like a very unusual compile time.
How do you do that? Compiling GBs of code? ;-)

wow - the worst i've seen is 3-5 minutes and <600mb, but only when optimizing >10000 line switch-statements with >800 cases. without -O, compile times are adequate (<1min).
did you try compiling with GDC or DMD on windows?

What's where I got the ~1GB number. 

What I'm looking for is a tool that will allow me to ignore the build and find peak usage after dmd has quit.

DMD win gives, "symbol name to long my 10K+" errors.

Another thing I noted is that the object file is about 100MB (I'm only creating about 40 non trivial funtions and about 40-60 trivial ones) and I'm starting to get link errors. :-b

Possibly you have run into this bug? http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1382

The man page of the 'time' utility (not the bash buildin) says it'd be able to give peak memory usage. It does not work for me though.

I misunderstood your question, realized that shortly after hitting the reply button. Sorry about that.

I can't find anything that would do what you need, however, all I can suggest is writing a script that runs repeatedly, writing to a file how much memory dmd is using. Then when the compilation is complete you can open the file and sort it.

I don't think so. The only CTFE I use is done well before the memory stops climbing

It looks like that is using the getrusage system call and only about 5 of the values are valid under Linux
