Sorry to step in uninvited to this discussion, I have some doubts about all this, and I'll really appreciate if someone more knowledgeable could enlighten my ignorance. The doubts I have are as follows: 1) Why is performance relevant to whether namespaces are implemented one per file or many per file?

Because including/requiring 80 files one by one seems to be significantly slower than including/requiring just a few files.

2) I was under the impression namespaces were introduced to improve code maintainability. Was I wrong?

Of course. Such bundling processes usually only take place during an automated build process. This is not something thats used for development. Regards Roman
