Just from watching a few of the DConf 2014 talks, if you want performance you avoid the GC at all costs (even if that means allocating into huge predefined buffers). Once you're going to these lengths to avoid garbage collection it begs the question, why are you even using this language?
In D you have a choice to use GC or not use it. You would want to not use if you have a severe performance problem, which may or may not exist. There's no guarantee another language is a silver bullet and will magically solve all problems.
