Why does D perform so poorly for web programming?

I was expecting Rust or C level of performance for D. Instead, D performs on the same level as Ruby and Python.
Why would you expect rust or C? D has a garbage collector, a better comparison would be Java or Go
GC doesn't matter here. Look at few other benchmarks:

NoGC comparison
