How Comments Affect Compiling Time? (Read 467 times)

	During the migration and translation process, I have tendency to keep old codes as comments, just to make sure if the new one did not work, I can fall back on the old one or atleast pick up some hints from the old ones. Doing so, a big chunks of space used in /* */ as comments. I am wondering, does that affect the compiling time or the comments are bypassed while compiling and does not affect compiling time in any significant way?

	Comments are bypassed while compiling and do not affect the speed of compiling in any significant way. The compiler flies through comments because there is nothing to check, no need to check for syntax. I highly recommend the use of comments because while you may remember exactly how the program works a few days from now. A couple months down the road you may have to change something and comments let you remember how the program does what it is doing.
