Hi all !
I wonder why there's no option to tell dub split files into 
groups of equal size and then run N instances of dmd ?
I think it can greatly reduce compile time.

dub options are a bit hidden.

dub build --help

      --build-mode=VALUE
                         Specifies the way the compiler and linker 
are invoked.
                         Valid values:
                         separate (default), allAtOnce, singleFile


       --parallel        Runs multiple compiler instances in 
parallel, if
                         possible.

After rereading your question, that actually isn't exactly what
you were asking for. Sorry for the noise, I need my coffee.

Isn't that what the --parallel flag is for?

As far as I can tell he wants it broken down into equal-sized n 
chunks of files where n is the number of CPU cores available, and 
--parallel just runs each file in parallel.

I actually hadn't thought of that before, there might be a (big?) 
benefit from this as dmd is slow to parse per-file. Perhaps 
decide which files are in the chunks based on dependency analysis.

bye.
