Hi,

is it true that in D the min. memory consumption of an object is equal to a

There's a correlation, but they have nothing to do with one another. 
The minimum size of a class instance is caused by the vtable pointer and 
a monitor used with the synchronized statement.  struct values, however, 
have no hidden fields.
