That doesn’t tell me which compiler you’re using.
I already told you (just check previous messages). Latest DMD, latest LDC2.
I ran with -v and it spills out the compiler flags it sets, if you're really interested in that:
-release -inline -O -w -version=Have_dar -Isource/ source/app.d source/dar.d -c -vcolumns
Seems like a pretty good combination.
By the way, as I've gone through the D Book, I noticed I could get a InputRange implemented by simpler blocking code that uses Fibers, so I made a change to use std.concurrency.Generator and I am happier with the code using that (implementing the range methods kind of sucks IMO):

Performance seems to be the same, though the runtime varies considerably between runs... the RAM usage is the same (very low, like 1MB for parsing a 20MB file).

I don't understand what you're suggesting. Are you trying to say Google employees are stupid because Dart is slower than D on this particular completely unfair and unscientific comparison? I don't think that's a reasonable assessment.

Oh well!
Anyway, I found the benchmark where Dart is 2x faster than D, and faster than Java as well (but Java was closer): https://github.com/hanabi1224/Programming-Language-Benchmarks/issues/378
As I mentioned on that Thread, in which the other person unfortunately became defensive ( I was actually trying to make the D example faster as the results didn't make any sense to me at the time, I did expect D to win by far ), the HTTP server in Dart is also quite a bit faster than D's (at least the solutions submitted in the Programming Languages Benchmarks). Just goes to show that things are not as simple as "Language X is faster than Y".
