All, I have updated the RFC to include 2 new benchmarks.
For normal class loading, this proposal shows at worst no change to loading time. At best, it may actually improve it because at least one zend_function_call is avoided (to spl_autoload_call). For constants and function calls, the benchmark shows that the difference is well within the margin of error for the test (considering variances of 5% to 10% were common in my running of the tests). So hopefully this will dispel any worry about performance regressions in currently defined cases. The times where performance will take a hit, is with undefined functions and constants. Today, an undefined function will fatal error, so this performance hit would be 0, as it would enable something that's not possible today. The only regression can be where autoloaders are defined, and people are relying on the legacy undefined constant behavior (which triggers an E_NOTICE).
