Because, as I said in another post, malloc/free/new/delete don't return 
memory to the operating system, what apps often do if they need to 
allocate/free some small number of very large buffers is to do them 
separately, usually with a call straight into the OS API.

You can do the same thing in D, using the same technique and pretty much 
identical code.
