I am writing a messaging library which calls a method every few
milliseconds to dispatch mesagaes awaiting in a queue.

I wnat to wrap the method call with a try/catch, for more robust code,
but I am wondering if there will be a noticeable performance hit ? ..

The best way to find out would be by measuring the performance for both
variants. Note that this depends on the compiler and its optimization
settings.

You'll have to profile it with your implementation to know for sure, but
many compilers have virtually no overhead until/unless an exception is
actually thrown.
