Depends. The DMD-built one forgoes the GC for the 
bump-the-pointer allocator by providing alternate implementations 
for the relevant druntime functions (_d_newclass and so on).

However, Daniel and I disabled this in the LDC build for 
unrelated reasons, and it did not seem to make any difference at 
all performance-wise for building the Phobos unittests.
