a bit irrelevant and also not true IMHO. besides the question was about speed,
he is already looking at possibly incurring the overhead of a function call
(It doesn't sound like he can use the include option is his case), why make
it slower by adding a class into the mix (class/object method calling incurs
a slightly greater overhead)?

which he obviously is?! so he most certainly shouldn't be using include_once,
but I think he gets that also.
