Having valid dbms_output statements in your production code where you do not want to see the output will waste a little cpu but more importantly it will increase the tasks memory requirements. It is also possible that your application could experience some buffer overflow errors due to the dbms_output buffers filling up under production volumes if set serveroutput is on.
