As soon as I read of this implementation I acquired my early habit of
not commenting my code, not liking the idea of taking such a hit. Was my
fear justified. I also know that I can use /* C-style comments */ so
long as I preserve the text files my code is stored in, and such
comments will not even get stored in the database (which conserves both
processor and memory resources). This is what I have been doing as my
codebase has burgeoned. But I've still always wondered how much of hit
database-stored comments cause...
Easy to test. Execute an empty verb:

Add 32 comment lines, each with 26 letters in them:

I'm running version 1.8.0r5-MCeh, other versions may be different.
