The GC is preventing me from beating Java, but not because of collections. It's the locking it does to allocate instead! I don't know about the rest of you but I definitely didn't see that one coming.
A lock should not be more than a CAS operation that always succeeds in a single threaded application, but OS overhead might be considerable.
Adam Sakareassen has recently announced a rewrite of the GC that has lock-free allocations: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mailman.655.1399956110.2907.digitalmar...@puremagic.com
