Is the unsafe version doing bounds-checking? I imagine de-serializing is much faster without branching, although probably not a great idea.

Hadoop's IPC protocol does something similar to what this article describes. They roll their own serialization format[0] and write to a wrapped ByteArrayOutputStream[1].

No. No bounds checking.
