> [a] system with concurrent garbage collection enabled the garbage collection can run faster than on manually-managed memory

Maybe. But not predictably. It will have delays, they may be small, but there is know way to know when they will come. This can be managed but it is all overhead. Manual memory management has none of that run-time overhead (but a tonne of programmer overhead)
