It's not a hit at all.

Are you kidding or trolling? Why are you calling multiple methods, if
all could be done in a single one? Why do you use OOP at all? Or PHP?
Why not directly write pure Assembler code?
_Every_ step taken to a higher, more abstract level "wastes" sooo many
resources - millions of CPU cycles just in order to load, parse and
compile your class file, so you can use it! And you're worried about the
time taken for a _single_ method call? Sorry, but that's just absurd.
