It depends... do you find the following script better? Better than what?
It definitely has a small memory footpring:
<?php
echo 'Brought to you by the ridiculous question department.';
?>

Let's see... (100 * 2) = 200 megs.
My desktop computer... (2048 - 200) = 1848.
I'm not seeing an issue... A greater problem is going to be
database/filesystem bottlenecks, or possible poorly written scripts that
suck the life out of your processor(s)/core(s).
Cheers,
