I tried to reduce the number of vibe-d modules with:

   import vibe.http.server;

Is everything needed? Like crypto? How to speed up compilation? The idea of splitting vibe.d was to speed things up, but the opposite has happen to me.

Have you tried compiling without checking for updates? Every time you
run dub, it checks online to see if there are changes that it may want
to download.

dub --skip-registry=standard

Given that vibe.d has split, and depending on your internet speed, this
may be the cause.

Thank you,
but the speedup is minimal to none in my environment.

The linking takes most of the time.
For me it looks like a lot of stuff is included in the libs and the linker is trying to remove parts/libs not in use?

How to avoid, that tls and crypto are used, they seam to be needless, in my example.


touch src/app.d && time dub build --skip-registry=standard

real 0m6.631s
user 0m5.876s
sys 0m0.704s

touch src/app.d && time dub build
real 0m6.679s
user 0m5.904s
sys 0m0.720s

touch src/app.d && time dub build --skip-registry=standard
real 0m6.989s
user 0m6.048s
sys 0m0.880s

If the linking speed is the problem, then perhaps it's symbol name size.
I know that if the linker is dealing with huge symbols (which isn't hard
to have with all the templating that vibe.d does), then it is much slower.

Not sure if there's a solution. I know that a recent version of DMD
helped with the symbol size, but it may not be recursive symbols that is
your problem.

You may get more traction with help by posting an example.
