Wow, I did not expect to see "Inkscape" pop up in the D forums!
Inkscape can be sluggish, but that has nothing to do with GC.

human-readable SVG string representation of path data and then
reading that back in again to complete the operation. This is
of course not very fast for large paths.
That explains why it's not sluggish when I use it. I use it for
simple graphics (icons, logos and the like). Nothing too fancy.
The point to take home is that it's not the GC! Funny :-)
By the way, thanks Johan for Inkscape, I really appreciate it!
