I can say from experience that the printf libraries do make a difference. All the "horror" stories my SICP instructor told me a couple of years ago about debug statements causing or removing bugs (the act of observing disturbs the observed?) have come true. Using the timing interrupts and for our auton code (on the EduBot at least), I've come across situations where putting a printf statement causes problems .. and then where it removes them. Needless to say, it was a pain figuring out that the printf statement caused it -- luckily my old teacher had warned me, or I wouldn't have even thunk it.
