Yes, Inkscape uses the boehm collector, which is the same kind of collector D uses. Inkscape feels sluggish.
I've yet to see a large desktop app relying on GC that does not feel sluggish.
Even JetBrain products feel sluggish, with a top-of-the-line? collector, so maybe for other reasons. Or maybe not.
