David,
What do you mean by a "short period"? 1 second? 10 seconds?
Even 100 page requests in 10 seconds would be over 860K requests/day,
which would make your site one of the busiest on the internet. And if
that's the case you'll have a lot more things to worry about -
bandwidth, for instance.
Even at 100 page requests/min. you'll be one of the busiest on the
internet - but the 8ms won't be noticeable.
I understand your desire to optimize the code. But some things just
aren't worth the effort.
