If you create a macro, during complication, the code in the macro (if called) replaces the macro name/title. Basically:

pawn Код:

#define       take_control(%0, %1)         printf("lol, %s %s", %0, %1) // Probably a bad example        

public OnGameModeInit() {
take_control("foo", "bar");
}

would result in the code in OnGameModeInit becoming:

pawn Код:

printf("lol, %s %s", "foo", "bar");

Seeing as the PAWN speed order is as followed:

stocks (being custom functions) would be slower. Though Macros are intended for use of small snippets of code, not huge functions.
