I agree that the problem is not in parameter passing, but in evaluation
of ackerman(5,5).
Yet if you really sure that parameter passing slows you down,
you can do some c++ trick (not recommended, however):
inline void tLogger::print("args") {
if ("enabled"){
really_print("args of 'print' passed thru");
}
}
This can work, hoping that compiler will inline the outer "print",
and a stack frame will not be created,
untill the resolution of "enabled".

Here I believe that the code without "ifs" can be more readable.
