Not really. If you are performance conscious you structure your 
data and algorithms to match the tools you are using. Therefore 
performance oriented RC outperforms GC. You can have a lot more 
special-casing with RC in a realistic implementation. Few 
application authors consider rewriting the GC, but doing your own 
minimal overhead specialized RC is quite common…
