The first read will cause the file to be cached for subsequent reads
anyway, so the performance hit boils down to an additional read() call
(which will probably be buffered by your file I/O library anyway, so
it's unlikely to even result in a context switch). And even without,
it is well worth the lack of fugliness in the ebuild name.

Not by much. It's just a header.

Just as much as #!/bin/bash and # vim: ... do
