Work around it, or develop a faster garbage collector. Again, 1000000000$.
BTW, the GC has massively improved in the past 7 months. It's no Java
Hotspot GC but I did make some optimizations that, depending on use
case, make it between 25% and 1,000 **times** faster in DMD 2.053 and up
than in previous releases. Additionally, the 64-bit support (since
2.052) reduces false pointer problems by making the address space more
sparse and the NO_INTERIOR flag (added in 2.055) and its internal use
with associative arrays further mitigates false pointer problems.
