The last reported benchmark I saw was about 5% to 10% slow-down for
all HTML to go through PHP.
If 5% to 10% is a Big Deal to you, don't do it.
In addition to the Good column, let me add this:
Once I made all my .html files go through PHP, I found myself adding a
lot of cool little snippets to my files that I wouldn't have bothered
with if I had to re-name the file, fix all the links, worry about
search engines "losing" my page, etc.
I would encourage anybody but the most hard-core million-hits-per-day
super-stressed folks to just go ahead and use PHP on .htm and .html
If 5% to 10% is putting you over the edge on performance, you're
already in trouble anyway.
NOTE:
5% to 10% was a lonnnnnnng time ago. I'd love to see more current
benchmarks or, better, real-live stats from a moderately busy/complex
server.
