Are there any disadvantages to writing data to front panel indicators when the vi's panel is not shown during execution?

Hi,

In the case where a sub vi's panel is not shown during execution, does it matter if I include front panel indicators on the sub vi's panel? (these indicators were there for debugging purposes). Is there any performance penalty for this? Thanks!

If the frontpanel is not loaded it has no time penalties. But a frontpanel is sometimes loaded because of property nodes!
