Think twice.
Shall I explain the (entire) complexity involved?
You've done a real analysis? Please share.
In any case, those overheads are dropping steadily, and should not
influence package factoring decisions.
If they do (as I already noticed during recent weeks´ discussions)
then it certainly cannot harm.
But arguing in such a Pi times thumb manner is invalid {#0}.
The performance issues (such as they are) are subject to change.
Package boundaries historically tend to be much more static.
Making your long term package refactoring decisions based on
supposed performance implications on a code based undergoing
rapid development doesn't make a lot of sense.
