If the condition is not an incredibly complicated calculation itself,

Certainly assertions in tight loops that are called frequently could
cause a problem, but that's a bit of a corner case that can be
designed around.
I agree. I won't remove them unless it improves performance noticeably.
A bit of a problem could be that sometimes I make *a lot* of checks :)

Sincerely,
