Do conditionals automatically mean more queries?

[memobug]

If I add conditionals to the postbit template to check and see if it's a certain userid, or if there are a certain number of posts in the thread, before providing the quickreply box, does that conditional necessarily add queries? Or is it a case of it depends..?

Regards,

Matt

Conditionals do not, or at least rarely, ever increase querys, they are just simple if statments

A conditional addition such as that will never add queries. They simply reference from former queries in that script.
