There have been multiple users in this category of D who have 
successfully made production systems with the GC linked in.

All memory allocations are expensive and can fail, if you want 
performant safe code you have no choice but to prevent allocating memory.

It does not matter what language you use, if you allocate you slow your 
code down.
