The answer to your question depends on the rules you have,
the preprocessors you use and much more things. Best you
can do it's try it and do your own measures. That's the
only way to see if it affects your traffic or not.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
