All your code is still going to be parsed. The only way you're going to
"save" anything is if you have conditional include() calls and only include
external files based upon what you need. For example, instead of loading
functions1.php and functions2.php, just load one or the other based upon
what action is being performed.
If you can't divide your functions up like that, then there's not much you
can save, just include the whole file. The parsing of the include files /
functions is probably going to be minimal compared to the actual execution
of the code, anyhow.
