Integer overflow checking cost

Read Original

It breaks down the potential overhead, estimating a worst-case 2x penalty per arithmetic operation, but concludes the real-world impact on overall application performance is minimal (around 3-5%) based on analysis and benchmarks of the bzip2 compression tool.
