    Measured – 10M calls take about 50 seconds. I think it’s significant overhead for unused functionality.

    Using a macro can help get rid of this in release build:

    #ifdef _DEBUG     #define LOGMESSAGE( str ) OutputDebugString( str ); #else     #define LOGMESSAGE( str ) #endif 

    Not only removes the calls, but also the parameters evaluation and the text strings are entirely removed and you’ll not see them in the binary file.
