The problems with GC and performance are usually not in 
allocations, in fact they can sometimes do faster allocations 
because they don't need to always ask the system for a new memory 
block. Not sure how the GC in D actually works entirely but I can 
imagine that it pre-allocates __some__ memory blocks.

The problem with a GC is when memory needs to be freed. Hence why 
you will probably __never__ notice any bottlenecks in allocating.

I'm not against nor for GC, in fact using a GC has its pros and 
cons, just like not using one has both.

I like that D lets you do both.
