I don't know enough about TLS to argue but it strikes me as odd that it would be slower than the layers of un-inlinable extern(C) calls, going through lifetime.d, gc.d, gcx.d, there locking on a global mutex, and allocating memory accordingly to a general-purpose GC (vs. specialized allocator).
No it won't, but I'd like us to be compared to state of the art allocator (jemalloc, java's G1 and so on) rather than the current thing that we have that is universally recognized as being not good, to put it nicely.
You want to compare yourself to what the best guy in town are doing, not the drunk hobo wandering around.
