There are papers that show a 20-100% improvement in performance coming from disabling array bound checks in programs that use arrays a lot, like most scientific programs. And D language seems fit for some heavy numerical work.
Scientific programs usually process trusted data (or easily validated), so they may need correctness checks, but don't need security checks. If you see the algorithm works with bound checks, you can turn them off.
