that saves you from the "free" tax. the "malloc" tax is still there...

The reason the malloc tax is so high is because of "free".
well, if you got free for free (bad pun, sorry), would you still be using vanilla malloc ?
If you're using Boehm GC, you're not using vanilla malloc anymore.
The malloc tax is unavoidable unless you use an accurate relocation GC which for a language like C++ is basically impossible.
