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.

Well, that explains why Inkscape consistently feels sluggish. I
believe it also freeze short-term from time to time which I
normally would attribute to boehm-style GC, but given what you
say it could be due to a number of causes so not a useful case
either way.
