Nope it's not.

Thank you for clarifying that point. Is it expected that
turning off bounds checking can lead to a performance decrease?
Yes, with it on you are doing an "is the index <= the length" for
every array access. Now some of them can be elided by the
complier when it can prove that the index is always in bounds but
it is generally dangerous to do so as it opens up the possibility
of buffer overflow.
