 From your question it is unclear wheter you ask about the GC 
during application runtime or during the compilation process of 
your application.

I just assume you meant the GC during application runtime. 
Depending on your scenario it is already possible to detect and 
also avoid the GC.
But your question reminds me to the first rule of performance 
optimization: Go for readable and easy code first, optimise only 
if you can measure a performance issue.
In this context it means: very likely you never ever will face a 
performance issue due to the GC. If you really face an issue, it 
might be in 5 % of your application. D will provide you different 
tools to control or even avoid GC here.

Beside that, the GC was improved in recent DMD version (parallel 
execution) and also a fork based GC for posix system is on it's 
way.

Kind regards
