Is there a way to "turn off" the GC, e.g. a compiler switch to set the heap size to a large number so that the GC is likely not to set in? I searched through this page: http://www.d-programming-language.org/dmd-windows.html#switches But couldn't find anything helpful. Then you could measure the thing with GC "turned off" to see whether the GC is the problem or not.
