The more I have studied memory allocators & management strategies

memory allocators and GC are different things
i've had at some point 'free list' based allocator
and it worked ~3 times faster than malloc/free
when used for classical linked list implementation.

GC's are deeply entwined with their memory allocators.

They have their own dedicated one tuned to their characteristics (say 
thread handling). Even if they still call out to malloc to map blocks.
