That would be my opinion - provide checks as the default and if I really,
really, really need that extra bit of speed on some segment of code, I'll
turn them off manually. For most programmers, I wouldn't even tell them how
to do it because they'd never need it, but it should be there as a back
door. (But that's the kind of thing you do as a policy for the app
development - stipulate what options are the norm for the project.)
