Do comments slow down a compiled language?
<p>This question has been asked several times here about interpreted language or R but I don't find anything about a compiled language, specifically C#.</p>

<p>According to what I read it seems to be negligible but it still induces a very little slowdown on interpreted language:

<p>What about compiled languages?! do they slow down only the compilation process but not execution?</p>
