Sure, if you use less GC, then the penalties of GC are minimized. But that just reinforces the point that GC has a real cost.
When you use less GC, you increase performance, but you also get fewer of the safety and convenience benefits of GC. There is no Holy Grail of GC just around the corner that will make this tradeoff obsolete, despite what GC advocates have been telling me for 20 years.
