In some cases a 5% performance hit is huge - offering up "our 
programmers make mistakes" as a justification is a non-starter.

But enabling checks on security critical systems makes alot of sense 
(alternately, on non-performance critical systems). Even selectively 
enabling assertions could become standard practice.

In Debian, it could be a different "port", or maybe alternate packages 
to control at a finer granularity. I haven't had a need for OS-level 
VMs, but installing such variants on test machines is interesting...
