any speed difference will be miniscule/negligible - is speed, to the
microsecond, important in this situation?

Im in a debate with someone else.
Basically were debating code bulk.

This is just an example -

?php
if (isset($run_this_code)) {
 echo $this-run_this_code;
}
echo 'Finished';
?

Now, if I understand php correctly, the whole script gets parsed, but 
since $run_this code isn't set, $this-run_this_code doesn't get 
echoed/executed.  What this other person is telling me that its more 
effiecient for *him* to have -

?php
echo 'Finished';
?

instead.

The script is a general purpose script.  Its not built for one person. 
Some may use $run_this_code and some may not.  So in taking out that bit 
of code, all it does is save the parser, what fraction of a fraction of 
a second??
Im just looking for ammunition so I could go and shoot this guy down... :)

Thanks for listening

Actually, the file in question is 3000 lines long, 99% in functions.
Im trying to tell him that he may not see any speed ups in code execution.
As long as I know Im right, its just the peace of mind when I go to bed 
tonight :)
