Yes, assertions do affect performance. Depending on the application, it might or might not matter. Anyway, assertions are primarily meant for cases where the performance overhead doesn't matter (tests, scripting). And if you add a custom message (assert x > 10, "x should be greater than 10"), the overhead will be smaller because the assertion's values won't be recorded.
