The reason it works inside of an if/endif is because the code is never pre-compiled and only executed during run time. For large code libraries, like we have here at our office, this would cause a performance decrease.

The code is precompiled alright. It's just compiled into slightly worse intermediate code, because no compile-time binding can be done. I don't expect the difference to be more than a few percent away, and altogether, it may not be noticeable at all. Zeev
