How to turn off bound checks in Agrona to maximize UnsafeBuffer performance

Problem

Your system is extremely demanding in terms of performance, and you're willing to risk JVM core dumps or other process failures to get the absolute maximum performance out of UnsafeBuffer.

Solution

Set the environment property agrona.disable.bounds.checks to true.

Discussion

Setting this to true will remove all bounds checking from calls in UnsafeBuffer.
