Before you go out and rewrite all your code, consider what your goals are with this. The decision, ultimately, should be driven by data, rather than perception. Also consider: Do you have performance benchmarks? Are you running an op-code cache? Is simply buying more RAM for the server less expensive than your time spent reconfiguring these modules? How does front-end performance affect page load comparatively? Food for thought.
Performance optimization can come in many different flavors -- sometimes the low-hanging fruit is a better approach than radically altering your development practices.
