Well, I found out the other day that vibe.d compiles with gdc
now so I went back to see if it made any difference to the
benchmarks I had.
In throughput it made none.
In the latency one it was about 5-10% faster with gdc compared
to dmd, which is good, but it still didn't change the relative
positions of the languages.
So that was anti-climatic. :P

Have you done any profiling of your code to really get a feel on
what's taking the time? If it really is io bound then there's
nothing gdc can really do to make it better.
Having said that, I've been getting similar results from gdc and
dmd recently too, with ldc coming out as a very clear winner.
