Phil,
Sun has indicated
(<http://java.sun.com/products/hotspot/docs/whitepaper/Java_HSpot_WP_v1.4_802_1.html>)
that their JIT compiler has the ability to infer when the bytecode
it's compiling to machine code cannot generate out-of-bounds array
indexes. When it makes that determination, it will omit the bounds
checks from the JIT-compiled machine code it emits.

Well do you know how to turn off array bounds checking? I don't.
