execution time of ';'

Hi all We develop our software with built-in debug handlers that are very talkative. Each class registers itself to a central debug handler. When a conditional define NODEBUG is set, that debughandler just does a return null but obviously it takes time to perform that call. We are thinking of doing a search/replace on the source to replace all $this->debug('...'); with a ; because if I would replace it with a # it would generate errors in cases like this: if(conditions ....) $this->debug('something...'); So here is the question: Are there any reasons against doing this kind of replace, or is anyone aware of a better solution?
