Thanks for the replies both.
No, I'm not seeing a performance problem as such - still writing the
site so proper performance testing is a long way off. I was just
trying to write defensively and was getting a bit concerned about the
amount of code that was having to be parsed on every page.
You're probably correct and it's not something I should be worrying
about yet.

Well yeah, typically my pages only need 3 or 4 too, but I wanted to
cache a whole lot of other info. I may have to forget this idea and
just cache stuff that is local to the current page/s.
Thanks again.
