Thanks, that looks a lot better now.

It should be noted that early assertions by Alan about the lack of performance benefit from removing require_once have been disputed by Gopal, who has found up to 10% performance improvement in his work at Yahoo!. The performance benefit of removing require_once for advanced users can be significant. Most users, however, will not see more than 2% improvement.

I suggest dropping the "performance" argument, as the fastest way is of course putting everything in one huge file, and we get the obvious question "why don't we distribute our packages this way instead?"
