GCs are a solved problem and the most common and fastest 
techniques have been known for more than 20 years. The GC 
implementation that D is using now came from the 70's, for 
example.

One guy wrote the LuaJIT GC, which beat almost everyone else in 
performance when I last checked, so I think this is a massive 
exaggeration.

Two words: write barriers.
