I’m specifically interested in PHP 5.3.2… Articles I’ve read are back and forth on the subject. Some say it’s faster and more efficient, others say it should be avoided like the plague for reasons of speed and memory. Also, none that I’ve found cover 5.3.*.
My personal benchmarks have said that it’s actually minimally faster than manually requiring each class file as needed, but needs more memory to do so (albeit, still only minimally). This seems to make logical sense, but I’m not convinced yet.
What say you?
Thx in advance!
