But don't "throw the baby out with the bath water" :-)

The run-time checks are valuable, and a habit of compiling everything with
checks suppressed may result in a lot of needless time spent debugging.

I'd recommend using pragma Suppress in the source code (or as a
configuration pragma), in only the performance-intensive parts of your
program.

You also might consider using gnatprep to conditionalize these pragmas so
that you only turn them on when doing the "production" build of the program.
