Title: Fix compiler warnings ("undeclared casts", depreceated GC calls); use mem* functions instead of while loops for improved performance

Given the `mem*` calls, this code:

```haxe
class Debug
{
public static function main():Void
{
for (i in 0...10) {
var arr = [ { age: 18 } ];
for (i in 0...500000) {
arr.push({ age: i });
arr[i].age = i + 10;
}
for (i in 0...500000) {
arr.slice(i, 1);
}
}
}
}
```

went from 9500 to 8500 (measured with `time` command).

Of course this code somehow forces that, but it is definitely faster anyway.
