Bumping old thread:

There is an ever-increasing amount of newcomers in #d on IRC who 
end up asking how to avoid the GC or at least to be able to 
determine where implicit allocations happen. I think we should 
work on creating a wiki page and gather as much advice as 
possible on dealing with the GC, implicit allocations, real-time 
constraints, etc.
