Do comments slow down the code as they accumulate?

the more comments a developer puts in, the larger the file becomes. does this become cumbersome as the file grows?

As long as the language 'garbage collect' it won't be affected. however, even if it doesn't, the lines of docstrings (comments) would have to be of a substantial amount to actually interfere with the memory performance. Great question, though :)

For compiled languages : no as that are removed when the code is compiled For other I do not really know :/
