I know this much: The current GC that comes in D runtime is a
single-threaded GC (aka "a stop-the-world GC"), meaning that all threads
are stopped when the GC is running a garbage collection cycle.

My example program that did nothing but constructed objects on the GC
heap cannot be an indicator of the performance of all multi-threaded
programs. In real programs there will be computation-intensive parts;
there will be parts blocked on I/O; etc. There is no way of knowing
without measuring.
