no, i meat that predictability is lost there. and with single-linked
lists, for example, freeing list head can take big amount of time too
if the list is sufficiently long.

what D really needs is GC that will not stopping the world on
collecting. you will be able to separate threads that allocating from
threads that not, and non-allocating threads will work without pauses.
then 'worker' threads can use lists of free objects almost without GC
hits.
