slow runtime

[Andrej Mitrovic]

What about gc.disable() and gc.enable() ? If I'm sure that I won't
allocate anything within a section of code and I have to guarantee
realtime performance, then I could disable the gc temporarily.
Although this is not exactly what it states in the section on memory
management:

"Call std.gc.disable() before the smooth code is run, and
std.gc.enable() afterwards. This will cause the GC to favor allocating
more memory instead of running a collection pass."

Is the gc disabled after the call to gc.disable(), or just relaxed? If
it's not disabled, then I'm not sure why it's named like that.
