You noticed FUNCTION / PROCEDURE is a problem of calling not declaring?
Yeah, it's a bit faster. But this is all from the days of yore where half of your app was on disc all the time. Your processor won't notice. Look up KiloFox or the Hackers Guide for details.
The penalty for this is having myriads of files. I get paid for getting the program running in time rather then squeezing the last nanosecond. People are used to web interfaces those days - what ever you do on desktop is faster by several magnitudes. If you really have a speed issue somewhere it might be enough to have the procedures involved in single files.
Anyway I do not much on procedures - most is on classes except some special stuff.
