PHP files are parsed by the PHP engine (e.g. Zend) and executed.
Decreasing the physical size of the file will not make it 'faster'.

If you want to minimize the download size of all the server output,
then use a JS and CSS compressor. You can also use ZLib
(http://us2.php.net/zlib) on the server side to compress the data being
output.
