I’ve never done this personally but I know in some of the languages I’ve used you can turn off garbage collection. If you really cared about the latency, then you couldn’t’t you just manually collect at certain points in the program? Or you could use a language like D which lets you write a program without the garbage collector when needed. You definitely have less tools when you do that, but if you are in a situation where you know you want to manage memory manually you probably will evaluate that trade off.
