The main suppressed checks are for conversions, discrete range checks,
array bound checks etc.; there are no standard checks for floating
point operations (are there ?) - this could explain your observation.
But -O2 or -O3 could help... and even, in that case, the choice
of a good algorithm and the removal of the hidden Sqrt helps surely
even more...
