In my experience if you're doing perf critical stuff with string formatting you won't be using anything like fmt or printf, and for everything else the runtime difference is almost entirely unimportant.

{fmt} is commonly used for performance critical code because it provides some of the fastest numeric formatting and I/O:

Here's just one example: https://aras-p.info/blog/2022/02/03/Speeding-up-Blender-.obj...
Since I rarely compile all my code at once (usually just a single file followed by a re-link) compile time doesn’t matter much. And that’s even though while editing or writing code I don’t have all the slowdown bloat of an IDE so compile time is more noticeable.
