While I understand that having a lower page size makes things load faster, what is the effect of using the coding to remove the comments? Like, does it add more server load? Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?

This way you can add more internal information to the code, by now there are often more information in the sourcecode than you think of.

Example:
most modification add their code in templates like
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This means although the user can't use/see this function, he has some information about installed addons in his sourcecode.

But again, is the advantages of removing the comments better than the disadvantage of having the code check every template and remove every comment line for line?

It does not check the code line-per-line it is just some simple replacements in the final output, only one command per comment-type

I just installed. I noticed this script in my page:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

It was properly untouched. I haven't tested it extensively, but it seems to do the trick. I don't know the real SEO affect of something like this, but I do like the idea of removing a lot of template-related comments from the code.

This was done to remove comments from the templates (so I can put some more information for myself in it without any user getting those information) and not for any SEO-related thing

That just affects template identification comments as far as I know.
