if you want to make D fast - Fix the interface between the compiler and the runtime(including the inability for compilers to inline simple things like allocations which makes allocations have massive overheads.) Then, fix the GC. Make the GC both shared and immutable aware, then moving the GC to a thread local "island"-style GC would be fairly easy.
The fundamental issue of island GCs is what to do with casting of data from one island to another.
Maybe you should take a look at what Go has recently done with their GC to get an idea of what D's competition has been up to. https://talks.golang.org/2015/go-gc.pdf
