Are you sure you're not confusing zero-cost with almost zero-cost? Even zerolog talks about negligible costs after most aggressive optimizations, not zero: https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/zerolog

If you're just using constants in your code to set logging level, AOT compilation can do exactly the same optimizations.

AOT would require recompilation and deployment. JIT can do it for the same code with final params.

When the log level is not final, branch prediction Will ensure JIT code is faster.
