I can tell you from experience that you will NOT experience any
significant slowdown. I did just this for a CMS I made with CakePHP
(I'm in the middle of writing a blog post about the process).
Basically, I had a core library with "cms_" prefixed versions of my
controllers and models - so CmsUsersController, CmsUser, etc. (just
like you're doing).
I even have shared versions of AppController, AppModel, etc., named
CmsAppController, CmsAppModel, and so on. The App::import for the
local versions of AppController etc. is a little more involved, but
still straightforward:
App::import('File', 'CmsAppController', true, array
(CMS_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH), 'cms_app_controller.php');
Class AppController extends CmsAppController {}
Views, on the other hand, don't need to have any kind of prefix. As
long as you have the shared view path in your $viewPaths array, Cake
will first look in your local application's view directory, and then,
if it can't find a view file, the shared path. For example, if you're
working with users/login.ctp and you don't have a version of that file
in a location application, as long as it's in the shared view path
then it'll load just fine. If you do have a version of users/login.ctp
for a particular application, it'll just load that instead.
Like I said, I'm writing some blog posts about it so that I can share
my learning experience (and it was a HUGE learning experience) with
others. But I'd say you're on the right track..
