Does Comments/Identifiers can impact on code performance/operability?

Does Comments/Identifiers can impact on code performance/operability?

Today i was presented with a wiered fact (or not)
it was said:
"At it is disallowed to write long, descriptive identifier names, and
forbidden to write Comments for Linux Drivers written in ANSI C."
When i asked "WTF? Why?" i was told it caused performence issues and
errors of such...
not many details there.
I am supprised, but have to ask...
Can this be real?
knowing that Comments are stripped by the compilation pre-processor,
and that Identifiers are either way converted to adresses.
so... Can it cause Problems ?
