It is negligible calling a userspace function versus an internal compared to

What authority do you have to make this statement? Rasmus posted numbers. Where
are yours?
Just note that Rasmus's numbers were for scripts which were pure PHP code with no reference to external resources, where the weight of a slowed-down _() was the highest, and there it was 25%. Cris's statement is probably true for most real world scripts, that mix information from external resources.
25% difference, by the way, is something that can usually be retained by tuning PHP.
