GameMaker if os_is_paused()

if you put
if os_is_paused()
{

}

In a step event of a persistent object on iOs or Android will that checking every step actually slow the performance down?

 

[TheouAegis]

Yes, but not by much. If you don't run it every step, then how is it going to know when the check the OS status?

 

[RizbIT]

yeah i guess, you could check every two steps but then i guess its not that accurate
