Is there much overhead leaving in printf calls for a release build of my NT
service (VC8)? This app runs as a NT service or console app so it's nice
to have the console ouput when troublshooting the application. The console
only has a fixed buffer size so I guess that running as a service the same
would apply.

I have done that without problems, though you could make a wrapper for
printf that only prints text to the output if you are running from command
line.
that way you don't have to worry at all.
