I have never done any benchmark tests to see if there is any significant

if you have a lot of debugging code, it can make a significant
difference when being compiled. and also not testing that DEBUG boolean
at run time can add up to if it those sections get called a lot. that is
why these tricks were created to eliminate debugging code at compile
time. it all depends on the size of the program, amount of debugging
code and desired speed.
