If I try to paste a several thousand line D file in to an open D file, Visual D stalls for about 30 seconds... Is this normal?

Unfortunately, it is. The auto indentation is not optimized for this case. You can avoid the pause by disabling "Reindent new lines after paste" on the global options page "Text Editor->D->Colorizer".

So this only happens on paste and not when loading a new file? (If I do it outside of VS and VS reloads it, it happens immediately...

The indentation should not have any effect on reloading a file, so a long pause is unexpected there.

In case you are running a version built on AppVeyor: there is a difference to a normal release in that it uses a stock dmd compiler. The official releases use a D runtime with a precise GC that can have a large impact on memory consumption. If you are editing large files this can make quite a difference.

You might want to try the new beta release here: https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/tag/v0.45.0-beta1
