The resulting executables will still run without Valgrind, just a
little bit more slowly than they otherwise would, but otherwise
unchanged.
When run on Valgrind with --client-perms=yes, Valgrind observes
these macro calls and takes appropriate action. When run on
Valgrind with --client-perms=no (the default), Valgrind observes
these macro calls but does not take any action as a result. */
unchanged. When not running on valgrind, each client request
consumes about 9 x86 instructions, so the resulting performance
loss is negligible unless you plan to execute client requests
millions of times per second. Nevertheless, if that is still a
problem, you can compile with the NVALGRIND symbol defined (gcc
-DNVALGRIND) so that client requests are not even compiled in. */
