"much faster" than debug( msg) of course ;) When traces are disabled, the right side of the && operator is not evaluated ; as a result the call to some "debug( msg)" function is avoided and consequently "msg" itself does not even need to be evaluated nor sent as a parameter to debug(). I suspect that the only way to reduce further the overhead of assert/trace in production mode is some variation around the conditional #define in C where DEBUG and ASSERT expand to "nothing" in production mode ; ie "anything" is slower than "nothing" (that's a true statement I guess...) -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
