That was kind of tangential point to the article, and it was merely inspiration for the name, but I'll ask Dusty for the citation.
This was years ago, so who knows.
[Update: he says he thinks it was on the D mailing list years ago, and was probably related to the fact that every source file in a nontrivial C program includes dozens or hundreds of headers, especially with a naive compiler.]
[Update 2: TinyCC http://bellard.org/tcc/ http://bellard.org/tcc/ compiles at 30 MB/s. It's not hard to imagine a dual-core CPU on a conventional drive failing to feed the compiler enough source to be CPU-bound.]
