I think the performance implications of bounds checking are fairly well studied.

  That part of the field is still in exploration phase. The reason is that you can mix run-time checks with no checks for performance enhancement. Static analysis and other schemes are used to prove specific code doesn't need checks. The rest get checks automatically. Performance varies per scheme applied with overhead going down significantly over past decade. We don't yet know the answer on just how much spatial or temporal safety we can get at what cost.
