Just a clarification: those recommendations were made based on testing
with PHP 5.2 series versions. Even with the realpath cache in PHP 5.2,
you get better performance after stripping require_once calls. However,
the most benefit comes from stripping them *and* using an opcode cache.
Without the opcode cache, the benefits, while measurable, are still
negligible.
