No GC would not be faster. Only manual allocation (new/delete).  However, 
since Walter is working on the GC, I think it will eventually have 
competitive performance.  That being the case, I doubt the GC will ever come 
close to nedmalloc's performance.  Thus, most common things could be done 
with GC, but stuff that is very performance critical could be done with 
nedmalloc.
