warnings and notices increase load time?

    if I use the functions:

    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors', '1');

    shows me a lot of warnings and notices about the code like:

    Notice: Undefined index: l in /var/www/vhosts......
    Notice: Undefined index: s in /var/www/vhosts......
    Notice: Undefined index: a in /var/www/vhosts......
    Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object....
    Notice: Use of undefined constant item - assumed 'item' in /var/www/vh.....

    and hundreds like that.

    This notices and warnings increase the load time of my scripts? So I have to correct this "warnings" on my code to get a better load time?

    I know I can correct almost all the Notices and Warnings, For example: "Notice: Undefined index: l" if I first check that the index "l" of the array exists before using this notice will disappear, but this will help to the load time?

    I don't think so.

    If you have hundreds of warnings/notices it can cause the browser to take a small while longer to render the page, it shouldn't be too noticeable.

    I guess by default all notices and warnings are logged to disk ( the slowest part of a server especially writes)
    so having large error/notice output will slow/increase load page / server load , and PHP engine needs to make some more CPU operations so either turn the them off or clean your code wich is better but can be also slower

    eg
    
$name = $_POST['name'];

//vs proper code
$name = isset($_POST['name']) ? $_POST['name']  : '';
    PHP:
    As you see fore clean code, PHP needs to make if else statement and call "isset" function, vs just accessing an array value
