The cost is in loading the bounds (e.g. array size) from memory. If you access 100 different arrays, you get 100 load operations for the sizes. A register would only help if you access the same array in a loop, but the majority of loops doe

First, please clarify whether you are asking about performance impacts vs. no bounds checking or vs. bounds checking in software. The "vs. no bounds checking" deals with the fact that the bounds must be stored somewhere, so you ge
