From this thread here: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=906F0000000928OIAQ

Code executed, including System.Debug and System.assert (and their variants) have the following effects:

1) They increase debug log sizes.

2) They increase script execution time (but insignificantly).

3) They count against governor limits.

 The salesforce.com best practices state that you should always remove or comment debug statements for production code (part of the security review docs).

Hi cmoyle,

Thank u for the help. The point mentioned is it still followed as salesforce best practice. Is there any mechanism we can implement so that debug log present in production will not execute.

Regards
