No, no it's not. Go's GC has a massive overhead because it's

Go's GC is actually pretty slow by design.
Low latency (also a synonym for fast) is required by interactive
applications like client and server software, not by Go itself.
Partially interactive data processing programs like compilers
prefer optimization for total execution time. GC improvements can
show in both scenarios, can depend on usage profile.
