I consider this a VARY BAD idea, as it causes a significant decrease of reliability and robustness of the systems. Please do not do this. In any case, if you introduce this, the behaviour should be documented, and the default setting should be such as to keep the previous behaviour, i. e. CRC checking should remain on by default. then people who are willing to trade reliability for a little speed can still switch it off, but the unawarerest of the users will not suffer.
