How many mallocs are run for a single GC pause though? You are comparing apples to oranges. GC runs on an almost human timescale, I wouldn’t be surprised if an “ordinary” app would have 1000x of mallocs for a full GC run. Of course if you allocate arenas and reuse that cleverly you can beat any GC, but that’s far from obvious nowadays (e.g. I remember a reddit thread where naive Java beat naive Rust in some parsing to AST program (can’t find it currently). The reason was the speed of object allocation).
