[Mono-list] mono performance, 20x differential with Java (what am i doing wrong)

[Rodrigo Kumpera]

The mono JIT by default doesn't perform arrays bounds check elimination as
it's a pretty expensive computation.

You can try running it with --O=abcrem with enables it.

To look at the generated code of a given method use the MONO_VERBOSE_METHOD
enviroment variable. Set it to the name of the method you want.
