if it's included with include_once, it shouldn'r make a big difference - on
an average linux box loading a 21k file into memory should take no more
than 0.5 msec, plus source parsing.

This depends on the code - if you have a lot of comment, then it's usually
faster ;-)
Honestly - you need to profile this to get a real answer. If you have a
"library" with a bunch of functions it would be better to include only a
subset of functions when you need them.
