We have a plan to remove redundant cast checks, see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15525
Eliminating checks when doing an array store will require more type
machinery in the gcc optimizers. We've talked about this a few times
but I wouldn't expect anything before GCC 4.1.
Whether this would help with your program depends on how many of
those checks are actually redundant.

Interesting to see these here. I would have thought that at least
sqrt would be turned into an instruction -- that was one hope from
turning Math.sqrt calls into calls to __builtin_sqrt.
It was also interesting to see how low _Jv_InitClass was on the list.
I won't worry as much about that one for a while :-)
Benchmark information like this is very valuable. I'd like us to find
a way not to lose it.
