In my experience with my own environment, I can honestly say that
it's clear that not freezing tuples quickly adds more cost than
running with cassert on.  If we had to run in production with one or
the other, I would definitely choose cassert from a performance
perspective; which one would do more to find bugs?  Why do we view
them so differently?
