During the real-time loop, yeah... In my experience, even the most 
innocent memory allocations trigger the GC - and if you have lots of mem 
allocated, you're going to get stalls. There are at least two options here:

1. use malloc for D arrays - an array struct template might be useful
2. bribe Walter with some cookies so he implements std.gc.disable()

And just a quick note: if you use malloc'd arrays to store object 
references, remember to add the array to the GC or your objects will get 
GCd.
