Yes, Inkscape uses the boehm collector, which is the same kind
of collector D uses. Inkscape feels sluggish.
I've yet to see a large desktop app relying on GC that does not
feel sluggish.
I've used Inkscape quite a bit and I don't find it sluggish.
Question: did it start to feel sluggish after you found out it
used the Boehm collector or before? Sometimes programs `feel`
fast or sluggish according to what you know about them. Yet
benchmarking can prove your intuition wrong.
