Joseph, 

Thanks for digging that up...my Yahoo search came up empty.

If I'm reading the above correctly, C++ style comments are actually
*faster* than C style (for a single line).  /* */ block comments over
multiple lines may be faster in that scenario.  

Either way, those numbers are quite small so, IMO, it would be better
to use C++ // style comments exclusively.  Then in the case when
debugging is required whole code blocks can easily be commented out
with /* */ comments.
