I think if you wrote a library from scratch, you could disable even
more validation, basically - write code that would just crash and burn
horribly on invalid data, that never checked anything at all, but was
pretty fast.

If you profile just plain raw sockets with no protocol parsing,
exchanging messages in a blocking way, that will tell you what the
absolute theoretical fastest library you could write would be like.
