I totally agree with you. From my experience at least during the
development, autoloading is a wonderful thing. If you find out, due to
benchmarks, that your the executation time leaks at autoloading, you
would generally invent another technology (like putting all your classes
in one file or something like that). For daily usage, autoload is a
wonderful thing and we should not force our users to work with
require_once() or something like that. If you want to load all you
classes at once, you can use an explicit require_once() anyway.

Greetings, Lars
