The point of this benchmark (that you're deliberately ignoring) is actually to have at least one program that realistically shows how bad a language's GC is. Go performs terribly because its GC makes lousy tradeoffs, which is the only reason you're annoyed at its requirements. It's actually probably the best benchmark in the whole set on that site.
