Depends on the server and it's load. I've strung together some rather large html strings and they aways take far less time than the transient time on the internet. I used to use OB extensively until one day I took the time to measure the difference. I don't recall the numbers; but, I do recall it was not worth the slight extra trouble to use OB.

Now, I simple assemble by html strings with $report .= "foo"; And then echo $report at the end. It also makes the code very easy to read and follow.

You are really asking an HTML question, if you think about it.

 At the PHP level, either use output buffering or assemble all your html string 
as a variable and
 then echo it.  The goal is to compress the string into the minimum number of 
packets.

Yes, but do so smartly. Excessive string concatenation can slow things
down as well. On most pages you probably won't notice much difference,
but I have seen instances where the difference was painfully obvious.
