Possibility of non stop-the-world GC in the future?

I'm interested in experimenting with game development in D, but
the only thing putting me off is D's heavy GC reliance, which at
the moment is a stop-the-world GC.
One of the biggest killers in game development is unreliable
performance and before I tread down the D path I'm interested in
knowing just what it is possible to do with the GC in D.
I'm not so knowledgable in the theory behind GCs but I know that
in natively compiled languages your options are much more
limited. I found CDGC as an apparently abandoned attempt at a
concurrent GC (which also uses fork(), but the way Windows is
going I'm caring less and less about them anyway).
So, how good can D's GC get?
