I'm not sure if this is correct, STL checks could be expensive even when
optimizing the code.
Can you please show me proof of this.
It is just a impression because I've never heard about such a strategy to
ensure correctness. I only know, in debug mode msvc-stl-code is several
times slower than in release mode, due to disabling optimizations and
executing additional checks.
But a proof would only be a aspell benchmark which I don't have.
