I did some measurement on that point for D lately :
http://www.deadalnix.me/2012/03/05/impact-of-64bits-vs-32bits-when-using-non-precise-gc/
I studied the GC a bit more and noticed a possible issue:
- memory allocations are aligned up to a power of 2 <= page size
- the memory area beyond the actually requested size is left untouched
when allocating
No, it's zeroed if the block is requested without the NO_SCAN bit set.
see:

Note to Sean, it's not in the no-sync part (makes sense, why hold the lock
while you are memsetting).
