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

> Thanks.   I can get by with "unsafe" for C# code.   That said, I am unsure if I will have any opportunities to do this in the context of F#.    Is it possible to turn off array bounds checking from VM args for my long running stuff?

The patch I included removes all bounds checking from the runtime,
regardless of the language.
