This follows from the recent micro-benchmarking discussion, though as
it concerns a potential bug, I'm starting a new thread.

With this (very inefficient) implementation of fib,

(defn fib [n]
  (if (<= n 1)
    1
    (+ (fib (dec n)) (fib (- n 2)))))

computing (fib 40) takes, give or take, 12 seconds on a Core 2 (2
GHz).

Substituting unchecked-{add,dec,subtract} for +, dec and -, I've not
been able to complete (fib 40). For (fib 20), the original takes 63 ms
whereas the unchecked version takes 2215 ms.

Que pasa?
