How much do comments slow down the compiler?

Is it really worth it to force the compiler to have to sort out which statements to skip and which to attend to? Seems like a non-zero slice of time is being wasted by the lexer just to make shit easier for the programmer.

COMMENTS DONT EXIST AT COMPILER TIME YOU FUCKIN IDIOTS

THEY GET ERASED

THEY DISAPPEAR

THATS WHY THEY ARE COMMENTS

THATS WHY YOU CAN PUT ANYTHING IN THEM

HOW FUCKING DIFFICULT IS THAT TO UNDERSTNAD YOU NIGGER RETARD SHITBAG FUCKWITS
