My objection primarily is that the third source of slowdown you list  
is present for non-trivial debug messages even if messaging nil... As  
the arguments to [nil printThis:[foo returnAString] andThis:[bar  
returnAnotherString]] are evaluated before the do-nothing of nil  
happens.  Is this based on a misconception?  If it isn't, and debug  
logging were always compiled but not always active, we'd want to  
avoid debug logging which has any cost associated with generating the  
strings themselves.
