For me the benefit of having the documentation near the code it 
documents (which means it has a higher chance of staying up-to-date) far 
outweighs the micro (or pico) seconds I'll save by the interpreter 
skipping my comments when it's compiling. I'm still waiting for someone 
in this thread that is concerned with these issues to actually do a 
benchmark.

Also, if you run a persistant environment (and I still don't understand 
why everyone doesn't do that) it's all moot anyway.
