The chart of different kinds of GC is very worth looking there. 
It shows how much generational GCs are faster than simple 
scan-whole-heap ones. Without generational GC D will remain 
rather slow, as each collection cycle with a 1 GB heap of small 
objects now takes ~5 seconds. And after you've gained 1 GB of 
data in the heap, each 8 MB of new allocated data cost you 
another 5 seconds of full scan/collect. No mature GCed languages 
behave that bad.
